blank main menu, unable to play

[scenic lance]

When loading up the game after a while it gives me a blank main menu screen so I am unable to play, I have reinstalled the game a few times and no luck.

Have you tried verifying integrity of game files? Do you have any mods?

Thanks for the report! It seems to be a problem with Steam cloud corrupting saves, we're working on a fix, but for now you can try workarounds.

It can be fixed by disabling steam cloud and removing you "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles" folder, but it will make you lose progress.
To try to save progress, we have only two solutions that aren't guaranteed, but helped in some cases.

Solution 1

1. Close the game, turn off steam cloud saves in game setting on the games page in your steam library.
2. Go to
   C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Local\R5\Saved Make a backup of this folder just in case, then delete it.
3. Launch the game - it should ask you to create the new character. Do it.
4. Close the game and enable steam cloud saves back.
5. When Steam finds a conflict in save files, choose the Steam Cloud version.

Soltion 2

1. Disable steam cloud saves
2. Go to %Localappdata%\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles(profile-id-numbers)\RocksDB\0.10.0\Accounts(account-id-numbers)\CURRENT
3. Open with any text editor (notepad), it will contain text like MANIFEST-000005
4. In same folder look for file called MANIFEST-XXXXXX
5. If file name is not the same as from CURRENT step 3 - rename it to match step 3.

People report this solutions working for them, but we can't be sure they'll help you.

I will give this a go and see if it works 👍

Once I have made a new character do i load into a world or just close it and finish the rest of the steps on solution 1 ?

since I wasnt too far level wise i am happy to restart
