I saw some posts about a similar issue last year but nothing current. i started playing yesterday and made sure to update the os.
play on the starter island is good with the "fair" setting. Moving to the main game either via the spider cave exit or by game story teleport results in a black screen with the GUI overlays. I can blindly move about and interact but no graphics. graphic settings make no difference. advanced settings also have no impact. i made a similar post in general discussion but it is getting no traction. can a moderator delete it?
