Hello!

So the game loads up as it did before the update but now the after the initial loading screen that would usually take me to the main menu the game now collapses into a tiny black rectangle with nothing in it.

See the image.

No idea why but the sound continues to play but the game is unplayable. Any clues?

Hello

It's might be related to some bug with the resolution that may be resolved by deleting the game's registry to reset all the settings.

To do so, you need to go to C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\Documents\Endless Space 2\Users\BUNCH_OF_RANDOM_NUMBERS

And delete Registry.xml

You can now launch the game again and it should work with the default settings.

Cheers,

I've tried this and it didn't work.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game as well just in case that helped but it doesn't.

This latest update appears to have resolved my issue! Thank you team!
