The Demo is unplayable for me. Starting the game, shows a grey screen that just hangs permanently. No error. No crash. Even the Steam version does it. (Running it on Win10)

Hi RogueDeus,

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with the demo. It's indeed strange as the game is designed to be quite accommodating, even running smoothly on older hardware like a 10-year-old laptop I use for testing. Here are some common causes that might be behind this problem:

  1. Low Disk Space: While you're right that this is becoming less common these days, it's still worth checking if your system has enough free space. Insufficient disk space can sometimes lead to unexpected behavior.
  2. Outdated Video Card Drivers: This is a common issue. Please make sure your video card drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can often cause compatibility issues with newer games.
  3. Background Applications: Sometimes, other applications running in the background can interfere with the game. Try closing unnecessary applications to see if that resolves the issue.
  4. DirectX Issues: Ensure you have the latest version of DirectX installed, as outdated DirectX can cause display problems.
  5. Are you running it on windows 10 emulation (example from Linux)? I know this can cause issues.

If none of these solutions work, could you please provide more details about your system specs? It might help us diagnose the issue more accurately.
And also, can you try it on another PC?

Let me know,

Paolo

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping this was a known issue, and that you'd simply state that the next patch was addressing it, because my system is only a few years old and is rather high end. (3900X, 4070 TI, 64G Ram, 4 TB NVME)  I'm also really tech savvy when it comes to PC's.

Honestly, I've never had any issues running anything, except this demo... It's rather... odd. Took me by surprise. Hence the above.

I did join your discord with this handle, so if you'd like to have a real time conversation, please let me know there. I'll check it as often as I can till I hear back, either way.

Figured out the issue...

Whatever you implemented for the move to Win 10 only, requires the latest 22H2 Build.

I had no reason to upgrade from 21H1, until tonight. On a whim, I tried running your Demo and bingo. 

It runs now.

For what it's worth. ;)
