Black Screen :C

I watched the trailer on steam and was REALLY excited to play, but when I open the game it starts out with a blurry title screen then goes... black.  I still have the courser available to move, and the music plays, but it appears to be stuck on a black screen.  I'd share a screenshot but... Black screen. 

The game just came out, so I know it's bound to have some kinks in it, and I am sold on it thus far.  So I am hoping it's a simple fix.

Thanks,

Louie

By the way, you folks killed it with your trailers.  The PPG reference had me in stitches.

I'm having the exact same problem on Linux (Manjaro). I really hope to see a fix asap, as I've purchased the full game and I'm excited about it.

Thanks for confirming :)

There has been a new issue. Sorry! I have uploaded a new build. You may experience the game going to a black screen after ending a day. This will be fixed in this new version. The new archive to download has "HOTFIX" in the name :)

Developer

Hi! Fixed now!

Same here. I will have to download a fresh copy to avoid this >

Developer

Yes. The v1.1.7 that's up now should have the fixes for it. Also, deleting your save file will likely fix this as well, you can find it here: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Placeholder Gameworks\Death and Taxes\Saves

It's called Save.RIP

If you have previous progress you can just rename a backup in the same folder :)

You can get to the path if you use the Windows Key + R shortcut or type Run into your Windows search bar, and then copy paste that path above, and hit Run
