Black Screen (FIX)

Hi there,
when I start the game the screen just goes black, but I can hear the sound of the main menu.

I tried:

ALT+TAB
ALT+ENTER
Win Compatibility Mode
Disabeling fullscreen optimizations
All dpi scaling options win offers
Changing the config.ini: Fullscreen from "0" to "1"
Running the .exe without steam

Nothing worked. Any suggestions?

Specs:
GTX 1080 running on 3840x2160 (4K native resolution) in Win 10 64bit (1809).

Fixed it, by forcing a non-native resolution in windows. 1920x1080

Set your native resolution in windows to 1920x1080.

It did not work for me, here's what I did.

Open %localappdata%\TRSC2017 (where the save files are)
Edit the config.ini and add the line:

fullscreen= 0

Save the config;ini

The game will be playable in windowed mode, no fullscreen :/

This also worked to fix my issue. The game seems to not like VRR (Variable Refresh Rates) such as GSYNC or FreeSync. Thank you for posting your solution as it has allowed me to enjoy this game! ^_^

Thanks! This fixed the issue for me too. It'd be nice if this issue was patched-out!

I know this discussion is old, but I just want to add that I too was having this problem, and this solution worked for me. Thanks.

Until this issue is patched-out (it's looking like never), this thread needs bumps ;-)
