Hi, I bought Stonehearth to my girlfriend today, sadly when she tries to join my game she gets black screen (She can see cursor and hear music). However when she creates Singleplayer game it seems to work somewhat fine. I already searched for a help on these topics (None of the helps etc. made any …

@Wouter_Sikkema My thoughts as well :rofl: but it runs singleplayer no problem and in multiplayer it should be little better since I’m the host. Don’t really get why the multiplayer issue though. :confused:

Hmm fair point. What happens the other way around? If she hosts and you join? #forscience

@Wouter_Sikkema Gonna try it. But just out of record, her laptop’s gonna probably blow up :smile:

@Wouter_Sikkema So when she hosts the game it works just fine. :thinking:

Maybe she’s just not much of a joiner :’)? (have a similar issue with my gf, except my game explodes when I join her and not the other way round) seeing as I have the more beefy pc this is not an issue for us :’)

@Wouter_Sikkema Sadly since she has a calculator and I’m running quite a high-end-ish PC it’s quite a little issue :smiley:

@Thaly could you get the log from her laptop after the blackscreen issue happens? (The log gets overwritten everytime you open the game). Perhaps some error will appear on it after a bit of time on that blackscreen. You can find the stonehearth.log inside C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\com…

Hmm I wonder if running in 32bit would work (you can find an option to force it in the user_settings.json). Or adding an exception for the game in her antivirus / firewall. :thinking: Also, updating the drivers from Download Drivers | NVIDIA might help, they seem a bit outdated.

@Relyss I was thinking the same thing. Also we already tried that… it’s also mentioned in those guides I was linking, if I remember corectly. :slight_smile: Gonna try the 32bit thing, that’s only thing we didn’t try.

@Relyss She did not get the blackscreen without Steam running. Sorry for being silent last few days.
