I tried to play it but after the loading screen the game doesn't show, the screen stays completely black. Sounds can be heard but nothing else happens.

I've heard this problem once before, but my only guess with them was their laptop was old. I'll try and troubleshoot it best I can, but I really don't know why that happens.

Intel 3-3770k and gpu is Rx 570 amd. Maybe that helps, this computer can run anything practically without problems.

I tried it in another computer, with an Rx 590 gpu, didn't work either, same bug.

So far what I've deduced is that the bug occurs with AMD GPUs, but not ALL of them.  Thank you for trying another computer. I'm sorry all of them are AMD. 

I'll continue to try and figure out the issue. My current theory is that AMD isn't playing nice with the Render Texture perhaps. Since to my knowledge, everyone can see up to the title screen fine, which isn't being sent to a render texture. 

The only thing that makes me uncertain that's the case is that I never got any complaints about "Become Prey 2" only showing a black screen even though it's using a similar method. 

The only difference is that I added a second RenderTexture so the text also looked crunchy. 

I need to find someone with this issue that I can send some builds to and try and hone in on the bug.

Same thing happening for me.

They said the loading screen, do you mean... is it happening after the Unity Splash, or the proper loading screen where it says "Ready"

Cause I read online there can be issues with unity's video player not showing video but playing audio. 

The first time I run the game I get some unity error, the second time it will load to the menu screen, I choose to start the game, then goes black. I can hear stepping sounds but nothing else.

(1 edit)

I wonder what that error was. It may have been a clue. 

Unfortunately, I don't think its an issue with the game build. It may be a driver issue or something. If you have other hardware, give it a try on that. Else it's a guessing game to what isn't playing nice.

Thanks for the response! I imagine it's due to older hardware. Putting it on my list and will try on another system when I get the chance. 

Is your GPU AMD?

Yep! An ancient Radeon HD 5670 >.<
