    Hello,

    got the game yday from steam and was very excited to start it today and give it a try since ive been observing the evolution of the game for the past year..

    how dissapointed i was thou, when the game started and there was alot of great music in the background BUT screen was completly blackened out!!! The only stuff i see is my cursor, and 2 buttons at the bottom of the screen?! I know its early access but this is so terrible performance?! HAvent happen to me since 2002, a game not to run..

    how to fix this?

    First you need to update your drivers. For Intel integrated graphics:
    To update drivers download and install "win64_153318.exe" from Intel website: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=23714

    If you get "not validated for this computer" error then download ZIP version of driver ("win64_153318.exe") from same page and then install it using this instruction:

    For discrete Nvidia graphics. You need download and install latest drivers from Nvidia website: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/73784/en-us

    Also by default game is running on slow integrated graphics so I recommend you configure your drivers to run it on Nvidia GPU. For details check "Laptops and hybrid graphics" section in this topic:

    Thanks for the answer!

    I did all you suggested and that didnt help at all. Im stuck at the black screen and can only see the 2 buttons on the down side and thats pretty much it. Ive attached the new DX-log and a log file. I hope something helps with the problem assesment?
