Hi,

What was the last version of the game that worked ok for you?

Have you tried using the DXVK/Vulkan rendering option?

Do you have multiple monitors? Have you tried disconnecting secondary monitors and running the game?

Good to hear you got it working.

This might be caused by DXVK/Vulkan having trouble properly detecting your monitor setup.

You could try switching back to DirectX, then plugin your 2nd monitor again and retry. DirectX might be better at detecting your monitors. If that works, you then might be able to switch back to DXVK/Vulkan.

Done, and it works.

That's great. Thanks for trying that out and letting us know.

Confirming that helps us figure out a better fix in the future.
