I’ve looked through this dump file and found that “EOSSDK-Win64-Shipping.dll” is missing from the filesystem, as if it was never downloaded from Epic. This can be a deployment problem easy to fix. I hope this helps the devs to solve the black screen bug, as an early backer this is pretty annoying…
Another thing: the log tells us the game stopped pretty quick, but the black screen still remains. At least catch this defect and display an error of some kind. The black screen is daunting because no one understands that waiting is not an option and wastes time, while CPU/disk is at 0%. BTW CPU/RAM/HD are all way way overpowered for this game so that’s not something to “wait for assets to load”. The log is clear: it crashes and never will load…
