Black screen

[Dinotanker]

No matter how hard I try, after loading, there is only a black screen instead of the main menu.

I even tried to run it after following these steps.:

1. Open PowerShell as an administrator.

2. Type Get-ProcessMitization -System and press Enter.

3. Check whether the ASLR value is set to: BottomUp: OFF or NOTSET.

4. If so, type Set-ProcessMitigation -System -Enable BottomUp and press Enter.

5. Restart your computer.

cleaning the "config" folder on the C drive also did not lead to anything.

I'm not sure where did you get those troubleshooting steps from as I didn't see anyone recommend that. Regardless, please post your Player.log file. I also recommend you to join the mod's discord where you will surely find someone to quickly help you

If you're going to be using a pirated version, you need more awareness. It fails to patch because wrong version. Likely the same issue with first poster.
