Game Starts in a Black Screen both windowed and full screen! (v16 no mods...)

like Title, the Game starts in a Black Screen and i removed ALL mods from the folders, i also tried the trick from a similar post from 2017, i removed the settings folder, i deleted the Cash as well and i see nothing. i hear a menu sound like it loaded normally but i see nothing at all.

i just finished updating the game, i run it on Windows 7 on a Intel i3 8100 with a Nvidia 1050 Ti using the 419.35 drivers, and Dirrect X 11 (DXSDK_Jun10)

since there is no workaround, am i the only one with this problem or are there others? (also i know the Menu is Chrome base and HTML files so... i wonder how that manage to not be able to load considering if it was Dx11/12 related, it would be the actual game that would not load...)

tho if there is a work around, i am all ears! (tho i doubt it is as easy as installing chrome and Direct X 12 does not exist for Windows 7 and Updates are disabled from Microsoft with a Intel i3 8100 on Windows 7)

 

well i was googling right after i wrote this irony i got your message when i found the post but i guess you now know that it also happens on Windows 7 as well... (in your post it talks about Windows 10 but in my case it does not Crash. almost like the game is running in the background but has no GUI.)

cefWorkaroundMultiGPU = true works but i guess the menu lags a lot.

so i guess in v15 it was working fine and had hardware acceleration but now with that command it is using direct software rendering that will flawlessly work but at the cost of performance. since it runs 100% on CPU with no hardware acceleration tricks.

for those who do not know why would some one make something less efficient like that, when you get bugs, like here, you can test if the menu works as intended or if some thing is not compatible like hardware... by what i read the menu tries to run on a separate GPU for some odd reason. so now they have to find why it tries to do that instead of running on the same GPU as what the game screen is assigned to or should i say Primary Display port. (tho you can have a Primary Display port and switch the game window to an other Monitor. tho that might lag, you can.)

irony is i only have 1 GPU and my onboard driver is not installed so... i wonder if it is still trying to run it on that.

anyhow the coding might just lack a way to identify the correct Display Adapter/port to run the menu on. i suspect there was a plan to make a script for that but for the intend of working faster, there was a quick fix (put the Display Adapter directly as a string format on the working machine.) and was left there while they worked and forgot to make the script that fetch the correct GPU to run it on after they were done working. (just a random guess)

Game Devs can forget those "small hacks" (those are called) when they quick fix things. that is one of the reason some 32 bit programs worked horribly on 64 bit OS at first since by example with 8 bit, 255+1=0, not 256, but it would be 256 in 16 bit. so resetting by adding 1 would screw it all up. so to fix the problem you now have to take that value and put a if statement that goes like "if value >= 256 then value = 0;"

 

What you can see in device manager, under display adapters?:


I have Windows 8.1, but there is no drivers for iGPU so our situation is similar in there, but I have disabled iGPU from bios so it does not show up under display adapters at all. Without drivers, but enabled in Bios, it might show up in device manager and still be multiple GPU situation.

 

i am pretty sure it is not showing up... also i think there is no driver for Windows 7 for it.
