You may want to check the content of the LDtk log file to see if anything weird happens there:

  • hit WIN-R,
  • enter %appdata%\LDtk
  • open the logs folder
  • open the ldtk.log file

It never gets past Loading Home just the black screen.

I see nothing wrong in the log 🤔 Specifically, nothing really special happens at the point it stops. Do you have anything worth mentioning on your setup? Like a dual GPU as in laptops (eg. Intel + Nvidia), or an app that could interfere with LDtk (antivirus, security app) etc.

I use windows defender...Malwarebytes and tinywall ( turned Malwarebytes off and tinywall to no avail). I ran cpu-z and took a gyazo of my processor and gpu stats.  Its a curious glitch. Ty for investigating , I appreciate the feedback.

Strange, I have the exact same GPU 🤔 I will put a 1.4.2 preview build somewhere, so you can try it and see that fixes the issue. Here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1E9DlQjyxmTIdT_YQ2BQSSjWwPrtjZuyB/view?usp=sharing

Ty for the preview build.....same issues...not loading up completely.

Just a follow up , the versions 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 do work on my pc build with no apparent issues, just the laptop is having the issues, I appreciate the response from the developer and I highly recommend this product !

Thanks for the kind words 🙇 Something worth trying would be to force the Nvdia GPU when running LDtk:

  • Right click on desktop,
  • Pick Nvidia control panel,
  • Select “Manage 3D settings”,
  • go to the “Program settings” tab,
  • Pick LDtk in the program list,
  • Force the High perf nvidia card,
  • Cross fingers.

See: https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Support/FAQ/1741

That worked like a charm , Thanks for the help   very much appreciated !

Amazing! Good to know 🎉
