BAR no longer launches - stays at black "Spring" window.

[open gale]

Hello all,
Tried reinstalling, etc. BAR no longer launches for me after updating my Radeon drivers to the latest version *(unsure if related), it shows the launcher, then the splash screen, then just a black screen at:

You appear to have some degree of data corruption.Open BAR game folder, delete the pool and pkgs folders and run the launcher again, this will redownload the game content

your config is erroring out, is your hard drive health okay?

Thanks for your response, yes the SSD seems fine as all other games load perfectly on it, I also uninstalled and reinstalled the game on another SSD and the same issue occured.

I deleted the pool and pkgs folder, the game redownloaded but hitting start still causes the same error. It was working perfectly fine just a couple days ago:

Does the file Beyond All Reason/LuaMenu/widgets/chobby/components/configuration.lua exist for you locally? Can you delete it?

Since you said you just updated AMD drivers perhaps try uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version.

lemme check what are the config lines it's bitching about

ok

it's shitting itself on autodetecting your resolution

aaaand i actually can't see your monitor resolutions information in the log either

and that's where it's actually grabbing that information from

so now the question is, why?

it's either drivers, or the way your have connected your screen

@open gale

considering that it worked before

i'm gonna bet on drivers

meanwhile this part looks like this for me

sooo the engine can't see your monitor(s)

for whatever reason

[open gale]

Aha!

This was the problem - I have a VR headset connected to my PC and BAR got confused. It was the only game having the issue and that's why I assumed it was a problem with the config (uninstalled, reinstalled on another SSD, erased all files, etc).

I unplugged my headset, and BAR started up happily.

Thank you @north kernel and @broken pivot !

[north kernel]

huh

interesting!

weird that it didn't show any screens though

you can see in my log it shows two

i have two

but oh well

glad you found what's causing this

[open gale]

I know - although the Index does some weird screen-fu with monitor setups.

If anyone else reports the same weird black screen as me, good first place to look.

[north kernel]

[broken pivot]

Good observation, I missed that entirely

I wonder why it can't detect the index's resolution

[north kernel]

i wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't report it when it's off

xD

and the engine is confused
