Aground
Freeze - Black Screen Sadnes ;(
I bought this game a long time ago, but I remember having some issues with crashes.

My 11-hour/new save has this problem: I start the game, move my character for about 2–4 seconds, and then the game freezes. Nothing happens until I press Alt+Tab to minimize it.

When I switch back to the game, everything seems to work—I have sound, and it looks like I can move my character again—but the screen stays black.

Help, please! 😃

It sounds like there might be a problem with the save itself - if you export it with the green export button on the saves list, and e-mail it to david.m@fancyfishgames.com , I can take a look. It could be a mod problem, and too many bots can cause freezes too.
in my opinon its not save cuz i does not mater of i start new game or start my old one but here u are ;) if u need something more to try fix the problem just tell :) i send already but upload to make sure of u did'nt lost it, u should recive email from : Razdwatrzy....... gmail.com

Save seems fine to me at a glance, it's an early save with no mods, nothing that could cause an issue. I thought it was the save because you said a new game worked for 2 hours without crashing. Sometimes the steam overlay can cause crashes - you can try disabling the overlay by right clicking Aground in your steam library, and unchecking enable steam overlay while in game. You could also browse the local files (in the installed files tab) and delete modio.dll to disable modio, that has in the past caused a periodic crash.
before i even start discusion i was looking for solution, the steps about u talking i did before :) any other idea?
i tried already : Reinstal . update drivers , Open as administrator , open in compatibility mode, change in game, (window mode, language), set higher prioryty of proces, change some things in nvidia. Thats propably all. My pc is rtx 3050ti 16gbram 11gen i5

I checked the save you e-mailed me, and it loads fine for me (played around for a few minutes, no issues). The fact that it loads at all (even for a few seconds) means it's not a problem with loading the save. Usually, this is a graphics card issue - often I hear about this with people on computers which can switch between a dedicated and integrated graphics card - if you right click Aground.exe and see a "Run With Graphics Processor" option (you need to select see more options on Windows 11), select Change default graphics processor and set it to always run with the dedicated card.

For anyone with same problem as me Try :

Semms it helped if not i will update

I'm glad you figured it out - it's strange the game just froze, usually it looks really weird when the graphics card has a bug (like the purple lines), but yes switching to a dedicated graphics card (on computers that allow the switch) will greatly improve performance.
