Black screen for me.

Realy? Have you tried again?

Tried again, its working. Not sure what went wrong the first attempt.

The issue persists for me seemingly endlessly. It’s pitch black and you can hear someone screaming. I can press buttons and it will make the corresponding action sfx, but that’s all. The game can also be paused perfectly with the pause UI showing up as intended. It is the in-game visuals that aren’t.

Edit: I figured out what is going on. The character kept dying over and over again with the retry button appearing before the game can even finish loading. (Explains the screaming.)

It randomly stopped on this last attempt, so that will be something that needs fixing.

Edit 2: It can happen after the first cutscene as well. It is as if the character spawns inside a radiated zone during the introduction and then runs out of health by the time the player gains access to the controls.
