Users have reported experiencing a black screen upon launching the client. Details we are looking for specific to this issue are the following:
Do you hear any game audio? Only during the Obsidian and Versus Evil logos and then it's quiet.
Are you able to interact with the Main Menu blindly and load a save to get past the black screen? No. If I click anywhere it opens up a internet browser that goes to https://eternity.obsidian.net/news/beast-of-winter-available-now page. I can also hit escape and it will bring up a screen with the game logo off center and the version up in the top right edge of the screen. I can't click on anything in that screen.
Is this current patch the first time you've encountered this issue? (currently 1.2) I just got this game and this is the first time I have tried running it.
If you've encountered this issue on a previous patch version(s) and this is still occurring, which patch version(s) have you had this issue occur on? I havn't tried playing it before today.
Is your OS (Windows, Mac, Linux) up to date? Yes, I am on an up to date Mac.
