Is it this issue or a different one - https://support.obsidian.net/article/30-mac-game-crashes-before-character-generation
If a different one, has it been logged as a bug yet?
I am having this exact same problem and dont have a discreet graphics card
I am on Mac and had the issue with being pulled into the aura and having an endless black screen as well. I also had low frame rate in the entire game leading up to this moment including the starting cutscene. I hope the black screen issue is fixed so I can play this game!
