Thank you! i'm happy to report that updating my graphic drivers (which apparently hadn't been done on this laptop since 2018 lol...) fixed the issue for CC1! ^w^ i enjoyed it a lot for a little time-based puzzle game! ^w^
just opened and played CC2 to confirm and yup! no more black-screen obscuring my fun for this one too! thanks so much for the help! ^w^ gonna keep playing this one now ! <3
this probably helped me out in the longer run too, i never realized driver updates on this thing were done separately from main computer updates and also non-automatically as well, im really not all that computer-savvy i'm afraid ^^; but this made me look into a lot of the stuff on this old thing ive never bothered to check before, so THANK YOU so much for the advice!
gonna go properly enjoy your game now! ^w^ <3 <3
