Okay, for quite some time, I've noticed that, quite often, trying to start the game just leads to an empty black screen. I've noticed that deleting and extracting the files from the zip file will fix it, but even after a couple of minutes after getting it working, closing the game and trying to run it again will lead to the black screen again!
I think the only reason why I haven't really noticed it is because I don't play often enough before the next update.
But it's becoming an issue.
This just happened right now:
I try to start the game, see black screen, close screen, try in windowed mode (with windowed mode just to be sure it's not some weird issue with full screen), see black screen, close game, delete .exe and Autonauts_Data, extract files from .zip again, run the game, it works, close the game, run the game in full screen mode, load my save, try something out for 2 mins to test for a bug, close the game and write something on the forum, 2 mins later start the game up again (this time for a prolonged play session), see black screen again!
