Heya, I've got a bug report, and a temporary fix
Idk how many have ran into this bug or if they've figured out this temporary fix yet.
There's a black screen bug but with audio. you can get visuals if you go down to 1x with F1. But scaling any higher leads back to the black screen. I played around with different compatibility settings and also with GPU settings but nothing worked.
Until I was going to just play a little of the game at least with magnifying my desktop. I looked through game settings and saw the "Allow screen filters" setting and decided to turn it off and tried scaling to full screen and low and behold it worked and no black screen.
So the cause as far as I can tell: The engine's resolution upscaler conflicts with the graphic card's rendering pipeline when screen filters are active.
And the working fix: Launch the game and press F1 so you can see the window at its native 1x size.
Go to the in-game Config / Settings menu. Find the setting named "Allow screen filters" and turn it OFF.
Once disabled, you can safely scale the game to F2, F3, F4, or Alt+Enter into Fullscreen without it going black.
Sorry this was so long winded. Just wanted to provide enough information if it helps anyone having this same issue and if you're working on a hotfix for this bug JDE hope this helps.
Just glad I didn't have to play with windows magnify 😅
