Victoria 3 only shows Black Screen #10044

Open MarkKocherovsky opened 1 year ago

Your system information

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I'm trying to play Victoria 3, but when I click "play" on the Vic3 launcher, it just takes me to a black screen. I can get into other games just fine, and I had gotten into Vic3 before, but I have since used the steam -vgui command as before, steam was taking all my memory. Victoria 3 worked fine on the same hardware in Windows 11.

I've tried different combinations of opening steam, disabling and enabling vulcan shaders, and opening the game through steam or the desktop, but nothing seems to help

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Open steam
  2. Start Victoria 3
  3. Click "Play" on the launcher

Here is a top menu screenshot: image

Hello @MarkKocherovsky, this issue should also be mentioned to the video game's dev(s).

Alright, but are there any general solutions I can try?

If I try to run the game's binary directly from the command line I get the following:
