It sounds frustrating when a game just shows a black screen and crashes! I have just verified that the downloaded version works on Ubuntu and Windows 11. Since it's working for others, let's try some common fixes to get AtomicAssembler running on your computer.

Here are the most likely reasons for the black screen and crash:

1. Update Graphics Drivers: This is the most common reason.

2. Run in OpenGL Mode: The game might be trying to use a newer graphics mode that your system doesn't like. You can force it to use a more compatible one: Run the game with the following parameters: AtomicAssembler_v1.0.1.exe --rendering-driver opengl3

3. Check for Other Software Conflicts:

   • If you have Nahimic audio software, try turning it off or uninstalling it temporarily.
   • Temporarily disable your antivirus or firewall to see if it's blocking the game (remember to turn it back on after testing!).
   • Turn off any in-game overlays from apps like Discord, NVIDIA, or AMD.
