Slitherine

Hello everyone.
Seems i cannot get back into the game anymore. To be fair, i have not been been playing since season 1 and came back for season 2 on an all new pc now just to notice, that the game wont launch anymore for me.
All i keep getting is a blackscreen, with active cursor and my trusted nvidia FPS-meter telling me that i got 2k above frames on a black screen.. lol
I am running the game on STEAM on Win10 Home and an NVIDIA 2070. (or better i am not running it there)

i tried the basic ideas so far. setting the game + launcher to compatibility mode for win7or8. setting admin mode on both files. tried out the same procedure on the STEAM-client. no success.
tried shutting down xbox gamebar and discord. no success.
tried praying to the lords of cobol and selling my soul. no success.

need help.

i attached the log. it reads 2 things i happen to notice are strange.

any ideas ?
pls help a veteran to get back into the fight.
thanks!

Please do the following:
1. Download the file attached in this message "BSGDeadlock_OptionsCleaner.zip"
2. Unzip the downloaded file and run the extracted file "BSGDeadlock_OptionsCleaner.reg"
3. Allow the "program" to delete the Windows registry keys regarding the game
4. Rename the folder named "BSG" as "_BSG" in your Windows Documents folder (\Documents\Black Lab Games)
Run the game and check if the issue persists.

Hello again,

thanks for the quick reply. i followed the advice. patched the registry with your file, and renamed the documentsfolder to _bsg.
sadly did not really do much except that the nvidia fps meter also crashes now. (before it kept running).
i will add output_log_new to show the log.

Could you please attach a DxDiag report file to your message?
How to get a DxDiag report file:

1. Click on "START" (on Windows 8/10 press “Windows key" and the “R" key at the same time)
2. Click "run" (skip this step on Windows 8/10)
3. Type in "dxdiag" and click "OK"
4. Check through the tabs and perform all tests
5. Click "Save all Information..." and save the text file to a location of your choice
6. Attach the file to your post

DXDiag - Log uploaded. Hope it helps. The mentioned Soundriver for Facerig should not be valid anymore, since the software is deinstalled. Maybe just a remnant in the registry.

update the sound drivers and reboot

Hello again,

did as asked for. none of the drivers needed an update. uninstalled facerig from drivers and turned off several unused audio-devices (like streaming).
Does not seem to be the issue. uploaded a new version of the outputlog + dxdiag.
