If you haven’t already, please try extracting the game files to a dedicated folder on your desktop (or another convenient location) before running the .exe file. Sometimes, running the game directly from the zip file or a temporary location can cause loading issues like the one you’re describing. Extracting the game files fully can help ensure everything loads properly.
Just a heads up, Solitude was built in Unity’s High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP), which can be a bit demanding on hardware. Given your setup, you might encounter some performance issues, but here are a few things you can try to improve stability:
- Restart the Game: Restarting has worked for a few other players who ran into similar issues. Sometimes, if the game didn’t load properly the first time, it might work on the second attempt.
- Run as Administrator: Right-click on the
.exefile and select “Run as Administrator.” This can sometimes help if the game needs extra permissions to access certain files. - Lower Graphics Settings: If the game has a settings file, try lowering the graphics settings to the lowest quality available before starting. HDRP can be resource-intensive, so this can help your system handle the game more smoothly.
- Update Graphics Drivers: Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. Even with your current hardware, updated drivers can sometimes resolve unexpected issues.
- Disable Background Applications: Close any unnecessary programs running in the background, especially memory or CPU-intensive ones, to free up resources for the game.
If you’re still experiencing issues after trying these steps, please feel free to reach out again, and I’ll do my best to help. Thanks for taking the time to report this, and I hope these steps help you get the game running smoothly!
