I once changed the graphics settings, activating Anti-Aliasing. Black screen and music playing.

To fix it, i had to edit the file Options.txt (somewhere on my drive in AppData). The file is a textfile but not really meant for humans. Just search for 'Alias' and change the next value from 1 to 0. Or maybe just delete the file (make a backup first).

I hope it will fix your problem.

I have the same problem, but can't find the options.txt

Sorry to hear that. You can get to the Options.txt file in the AppData, which should be same location as the Log file See here.. Problem is that Steam saves data on the cloud so you might need to turn off the could syncing on Steam to, depending on your set up. (Library, Right-Click the game, Properties, Updates section. Steam Cloud option is at the bottom.) Let us know how you get on!

Hey all. Another possible solution a user found was; launched it by going to where the game is on your PC (e.g. "C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Ogre") on your PC, right clicking "ogre.exe" and selecting "Run as administrator". Thanks!

Thanks but, no joy. Did I mention that Ogre runs on every other computer in the house? I can stream through my Steam account but, the vidieo quality is not the best.

Same issue on Mac OSX Mojave. Played the game for 30m, tripped over a graphics setting that I tried to cancel out. Thought it was successful, shut down game and now the game blackscreens and freezes. No title screen, sound, nada.

I've tried to locate this mythical file that has "Alias" in it, and no dice. Is this an issue with the Steam client, the game, or both?

UPDATE:

After noodling around, I found Options.txt in /Users/[myusername]/Library/Application Support/unity.DefaultCompany.ogre

Opening up Options.txt in TextMate, I discovered the config key is called Auroch.Ogre.Options+Graphics+AntiAliasing, not "Alias". The value I had was 0, so I changed it to a 1 and presto, the game launched.

{"__type__":"Auroch.Ogre.Options+Graphics+AntiAliasing, Assembly-CSharp, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null","__value__":1}

Hope this helps others avoid a similar fate and provides the developers with some insight into what gets broken.

Amazing, thanks for sharing that!

I just got the game, i was looking at the options specifically in the video section and tryed to go back to the main menu. i got a pop up that asked if i wanted to save my changes (i had not made any) the sort version is there was no way to get back to the main menu. I don't have the exact path or messages because I have a much bigger problem. I ended up using task manager to kill the game ( again i could not get out of the options menu ) then i restarted but this time i get a black screen with the music playing in the background. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game i have rebooted the machine but i only get a black screen now when i start the game.

any thoughts on how to fix this would be helpful

Chapalahara,

THANK YOU!

this fixed my problem!
