Pillars of Eternity over Steam broken after 3.01 Update

[Yagasaki]

My problem is that Pillars of Eternity doesn't load properly anymore after Steam downloaded the 3.01 update just now. During the download, my computer suddenly crashed, but once I had rebooted Windows again, Steam resumed the download and finished the update without an error message.

 

When I start Pillars of Eternity, the animated movies at the beginning display flawlessly, but as soon as I arrive on the main screen, I see this:

 

 

when I try to hit what I think is the Continue button, the screen turns black with only the mouse pointer visible.

when I try to hit what I think is the Exit button, the game flawlessly quits.

 

Link to my dropbox with the ZIP file containg the picture above, output log and dxdiag.

 

How shall I proceed? Thanks in advance.

Hey Yagasaki,

 

Welcome to the forums and thanks for joining us! It sounds like your download got corrupted when you computer crashed. I would suggest verifying your game cache and that should fix your issue. In your Steam library, right click Pillars of Eternity > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Cache.

 

Thanks a bunch!

Thank you, that worked flawlessly. It redownloaded 8 items and case solved. 

 

Please forgive the newbish question, I didn't spot that button when I was looking for an answer myself. And thank you for the warm welcome.
