#The game won't start after latest update

the game might be building the shader give it some time.
might also be yeah
try turning on the steam performance overlay and check if cpu / gpu is @ 100% during the black screen
when i clean up the directx cache it stay on the black screen and almost 100% cpu for some time.
If only the game would tell people that its doing that it would be nice, i have seen other game do that so you don't think the game as issue.
I run into this when my video drivers update. I’m assuming it’s generating some shader stuff which can take some time. I usually let it sit and it eventually loads. Then I immediately exit the game and restart it and it shows up really quickly like one would expect.
I had a black screen too but I use Nvidia Geforce Now so I could not do anything about install or updates,. However, it worked after I opened a random window Had the same issue today did the trick (I had wait 1/2 mins before the main menu appears) . Don't know if it could help you.
if anyones facing gpu related issues id highly recommend using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to comprehensively wipe your system of installed files/config and do a clean reinstall of the latest driver afterwards
