Whenever I boot up Etterna it gets stuck on a black screen with "not responding" for a couple minutes. The main menu eventually comes up and everything else works fine after that. I'm just wondering what causes the initial long load time.

PC specs:
Windows 10
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1650
16 gb ram

no idea what causes it

#

does it still happen

#

try updating video drivers

#

for some people it never happens and for some people they can wait for like 90 minutes before it opens

For me it always black screens when I open but usually only for a minute or two before loading. If I click during the black screen it does fo thr "not responding" thing so typically I don't do that and I just wait.

#

I thought it was because I have a lot of packs, but I've been told it was not that

all that is happening during the black screen is initializing the main game window and graphics

#

same thing that happens if you toggle fullscreen

I hate to post on here a year later, but this issue is driving me insane. I recently build a new computer and before it would load instantly and now I need to wait over 4 minutes before playing.
Windows 10
cpu 7800x3d
gpu 4070
32gb ram
I've updated my drivers on everything. I thought it was a ram issue possibly and still happening. I made sure shadowplay wasnt causing issues and fully turned it off but still. Gsync being turned off still doesnt work. Was there ever a fix for this?

nope you can randomly change everything from software to hardware until it works and also reboot a thousand times and change all the settings in the game
