f12 only brings up my laptop's dev mode, which i cannot say i am comfortable with delving in to. I DID try downloading the game and even the download version, upon selecting a save slot or new game slot defaults to a black or grey screen with a sad face in the corner or middle
wow, that's surprising that even after all the updates and improvements, it still causes that issue. i guess my one suggestion is just to try it on mobile soon, since I'm working to get it optimized for mobile. that or find a different pc to run it on? I'm curious what specs your laptop has because if its too old it might just be a hardware issue? the more i know about it the better since i would love to get it working on your laptop if possible.
