Hello @jovial rapids Thanks for the report! Could you please share a video showing the issue?
Also, can you describe what the host was doing in-game when this happened to you? That’ll help us better understand the situation. goatlove2

I'll see when this would be possible. We usually have time to play at the end of the week and I reported the bug at the end of the gaming session today. I'll look for a way to record my screen.

Alright, I found it again. Lost track of this post.

When we played again yesterday, we tested the bug again. The host stood still in his house and didn't do anything. I ran to Zarah on the other side of the map and asked her out. The cutscene played without issues and all the other cutscenes played as normal.

I suppose something went wrong with either pc's and when we played again on a new day, given that both of our pc's restarted, the issue resolved itself.

Thanks for the help!

This happened to my partner (player in my hosted game) while we were playing. Asked someone out while in fishensips, and then nothing happened, and got the black screen when he attempted to leave.

Something similar happened to me (the host) just now. I asked an NPC out while in fishensips, and nothing happened. He froze, and I was unable to do anything such as speak to anyone, sprint, and when I left the building, I was unable to enter any other building. I was about to grab a screen capture via steam, when steam shut the game down. 🙁

Hi there, thanks for bringing this to our attention! If you could replicate the issue, could you record a video from both the Host's and Guest POV and send it here for further review?
