Launched game, opened task manager and set the game to 'High priority'. Left room, waited 20 minutes and came back to the black screen, ended process.

Additional notes: I saw other problematic black screen bug reports, but those being before 2.0 came out reasoned with me, that I should post a new bug report. I hope you all don't mind this new one.

For some reason my system has not updated since last November. So I went ahead and updated the computer, restarted, and verified game files. Still black screen.

Went to download Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 RC, but when I run it, it says I already have it installed. Which is odd, because I have every instance of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005-2017 installed, but not instances of 2015.

Uninstalled every instance of Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable.

Installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable from the War for the Overworld file ("_CommonRedist/vcredist/2015") Restarted computer.

Validated file integrity of WFTO. For some reason, one file keeps needing to be re-acquired. Launched game. Still black screen.

Heyy

I'm experiencing the exact same issue. The game responds normally, can easily alt-tab in and out of it, but it stays in a permanent black screen after splash. I'm pretty sure its 2.0 related. Just gotten HoG and the Underlord edition alongside with the update, but the HoG troubleshooting didn't help, nor the general crash guides. 


Also Windows 7
