The game black screens when i enter the sub
« on: August 24, 2020, 04:17:16 pm »
I am playing on the experimental build of version of 1.1.2.0 and I am at the blistering shores research facility. When I enter the sub inside of the facility the game black screens as if it was still loading but the music continues to play and the game continues to run.

Got a save near the sub? You can upload it to Dropbox, Google Drive or any cloud service of your choice and post the link here so I could take a look at what's going on.

Oh, and welcome.  8)

Works fine when I try it. I don't know if you tried restarting the game, because sometimes when it runs out of memory it can cause all sorts of strange loading problems. Also, you could try verifying your game files. On Steam it's Underrail -> Properties -> Local files -> Verify, and on GoG it's More -> Manage Installation -> Verify/Repair. Let me know if it works.

After validating files and giving it a restart the same problem persists. Do you think it is because i am running on the experiential build?

Well, I tried it on both on experimental 1.1.2.3 and the yet-unreleased 1.1.2.4 and it worked fine. You could always try updating to 1.1.2.3, but I'm not sure if that would make any difference, as we haven't done anything with the sub in quite a while. That said, I made a save after entering the sub -> https://www.dropbox.com/s/8nm53yj2ikqxv50/insideSubmarine.rar?dl=0

Give it a shot and tell me if you can exit and enter the sub normally with my save.

I get the same problem when i try to leave the sub on your save files. This is most likely a problem with my files or a very specific bug.

The only other thing I can think of is that you reinstall the game. But the funny thing is, just recently there was a person who sent me their save, and everything worked fine on my version yet he wasn't getting a certain dialog option, so I'm trying to figure out if there could be some other underlying issue.
