Same white screen. Anything else?

I would suggest reading through these troubleshooting articles which are provided by Steam. A stuck loading screen is a sign that some other software (often security based) is blocking the game.

I tried to do some of the things listed on the links but it doesnā€™t help :confused: Do you have anything else? (Also, thanks!)

#25

Have you tried running your computer is safe mode and then check if the game runs?
Also have you checked that your graphic drivers are up to date? However I would say that this issue is nearly always caused by conflicting software.

I didnā€™t think I was going to be doing any gaming on my laptop when I bought it a couple years ago so I donā€™t even have the AMD/Nvidia, I only have the IntelĀ®. I will try some of the stuff you left for Chelan_AngelFire unless you have any other ideasā€¦

If you can create a DXDiag report and email it to me at support@greenheartgames.com I can check out your specific situation.

To create a DX Diag report

  • Click the Start button,
  • Typing dxdiag in the search box and then pressing enter.
  • The DirectX diagnostic Tool pop-up window should appear.
  • Click on, ā€œSave all informationā€.

Also is the screen pure white or does it have writing on it (a list of names)?

Thanks for the help Charlie, I just returned it on Steam and bought it from your actual website, it was cheaper and actually works so a win/win. Thanks again. Itā€™s definitely a fun game

Hello,

I just purchased the game through Steam as well and am having the same problem. I typed in the commands, however I receive in reply ā€œsudo: In: command not foundā€ Could you please help? I am new to Linux, so it could be a simple problem.
