Happens whenever I launch the game. 1.4.7 it starts windowed then expands, only giving audio. 1.4.8 goes straight to audio and a black screen. I haven't even been able to play yet.

Edit: I'm locked into a black screen whenever the game is launched, so I can't even check Task Manager. Hoping this is just a system issue.

I am trying to find the reason to why this is happening. I've had about 700 players play the new update with no other reported crashes, but I want to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else. I'll research and browse for a cause for the crashes while seeing if I can find a solution to mitigate this in the future if it is system related. I'm sorry for the inconvenience and I will be working fixing this ASAP.

Please and thanks. Will there be a discord or subreddit in the future? I'd be able to shoot you a dxdiag file if so.

Yes, I just got a subreddit and a discord up around 30 minutes ago, but I am still configuring some settings on them. Something I am working on in the new version is a bug reporter built into the game where it would save everything I need to know into a text file on crash and that can be sent to me so I can diagnose problems faster. Thanks again and here is the subreddit "r/IndustrialEvolution".

Experiencing the same thing, tried both the alpha and the other download. Big oof.

It happened to you too?  Do you have any extra information to add? So when you launch the game, it shows a black screen, sound plays, and prevents you from leaving/tabing out?  Do you have a graphics card and is it old or is your monitor aspect 16:9? Sorry for asking so many questions as I want to solve this before more experience this problem. 

Edit: I think I found the cause and I'll get the new version out in the next day or so. I think its because of a conflict with supported resolutions when the game enters full screen mode, thus I'll release a version that is windowed instead to test if this is the case.

Thanks for your time.

I think I have a fix and the patch will be released in a couple days to test if it is fixed. Thanks again.
