    I think this is pretty common with the new build, so it's worth having a topic on it.

    I get into a game fine, but I get a black screen once the game has finished loading. I think this started with 61450 and not 61250.

    F5 fixes it, but it's consistent.

    I am experimenting with it. It has the feel that it is a result of "too many mods".
    With all my mods I get it like 80% of the tests.
    Without any mods 0%
    With PA Stats 0%
    With PA Stats + hotbuild2 I just got a black screen.
    Testing continues....

    I had the same thing with a multiplayer game, keep saying it's loading planets, but it does not matter how long you wait. I got no mods installed.

    Haha, you won't have to give up your precious. ;)

    I made a thread on the same here: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/picture-in-picture-broke-my-pa.56698/

    Should've checked in this forum first. : P Here's the TL;DR:

    "Update:

    Poor testing on my part. "Floating Framework" and Blueprint Info Framework" MAY be a problem, but I think the real culprit was "Commander Health Display".

    So, "Better System View" can cause it, and "Comm Health Display", in conjunction with "Floating Framework" and "Settings Manager" can cause it. I have no technical expertise here, but is it suspicious that both of these mods add an additional window to the screen? Just a thought."

    Works with staticmenu, system manager, planet named themes, installed mod list, floating framework, favorite color, blueprint info framework, and enhanced system preview but not better system view.

    Update:
    Little mistake here unit database was not enabled but blueprint info framework.;)

    I will probably post about that somewhere in a reasonable place once it happens.

    Well hopefully the Gamma release on Thursday will invalidate the need for this mod.

    dunno, I don't know of any official statement of Uber. Who knows what the internal reason for this is.
