''No signal'' black screens in game

[granite acorn]

I bought this game today, and after playing for a while, I started a new save. At some point, I alt-tabbed to change the computer volume, and when I went back to the game, the problem started. I can’t play that save anymore because the game goes to a black screen, followed by a “No Signal” message on my PC, forcing me to shut the computer down.

I deleted that save and started a new game, but after all the initial dialogues, the screen goes black again and I lose the signal.

I’ve tried everything to fix it: updating the drivers, reinstalling the game, reinstalling everything… nothing works.

I really don’t want to refund this game because it’s fucking fun to play, but this bug is really getting me down.

Hi, does disabling NVIDIA vsync settings set to fast fix the issue? Otherwise verifying the steam files integrity could help

yeah...i tried it now, didnt work...so sad, actually, i tried turn off all the options in the driver too, and didnt work, is AMD driver, a RX6600, and the problem happens randomly, sometimes when i start the game, other times when i open a save and take 5 minutes, new games too, and verified the steam files integrity

its weird

i just bought the game, played 3 or 4 hours, and this happened later when i was playing a new game

my girlfriend played 3 hours in his save and looks all safe, then, when i started a save to me later, they pissed me off
