"A Challenge from the Gods" weird black screens when looking at Hildiran
0 Likes/8 Replies/99 Views
After Hildiran's hut has been build during a A Challenge from the Gods, before you walk towards her behind the building and start a fight with her, from certain angles the screen turns completely black.
You can still walk around and turn the camera, turning the camera away from her removes the black screen, initiating the conversation with her does that too. But it's still pretty weird.
To fix this I had to completely close the game and reboot it. It seems like it doesn't correctly load or something when first spawning the new building.

Hello @Kennyannydenny,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
This doesn't look right, I must admit.
Can you please perform all the troubleshooting steps listed in this article? This will help you to resolve any potential software conflicts.
Additionally, if you're still experiencing this, can you please confirm if it's happening consistently, or any specific actions have to be triggered (or what actions have you performed before triggering this issue), so I can pass it along to the development team?
Many thanks and if you have any other questions, please let us know.Official Response -
@Ubi-Mark No idea what kind of 'software conflicts' are even possible on an xbox one but ok. I have of course power cycled my console, i've been with xbox since the launch of the original xbox, I know my way around xboxes
But as I said, fully closing the game and rebooting it seemed to have fixed it at least for me. So I haven't encountered it a second time. It only seemed to be happening after the cutscene where the new Ravensthorpe building gets introduced.
Step by step: I just talked to Hildiran at the crash site, she is invited to stay in Ravensthorpe. The game goes into a long loading screen, the camera pans around the new building to introduce it. After this cutscene I immediately walked towards Hildiran, ending up with this black screen. Saved at that exact location, rebooted the game fully, and it was gone. If I look at the floor it also seems that flickers a tiny bit too, I my personal guess was that something with the graphics didn't load correctly, but that's coming from a layman. -
Thank you for the update, @kennyannydenny!
Can you please update this thread if you encounter this issue again? I'll keep a closer look on it and as soon as we have another instance, I'll pass it along to the development team Official Response -
@kennyannydenny The same is happening to me and I'm PS5 and even closing the game, Changing my loadout and reloading old saves isn't working to fix this issue as I am extremely interested in playing the new update.

Hello @CorvoSilver,
Thank you for sharing this and I'm really sorry that you are experiencing this issue as well.
It looks like data corruption, to be honest - can you please perform the steps listed in this article? Secondly, can you please reinstall your game? This will help you to eliminate any potentially corrupted data.
If the issue persists after performing all of these steps, can you please update this thread? Many thanks!Official Response -
@ubi-mark I have redownloaded the game and the black screen no longer appears but I have made another post about what is happening to me where I go to start the fight with the old lady and she knocks my character to the ground in the cut screen and then she walks away and I am unable to continue the quest and the quest log tells me to continue the main story which I have already completed

Hello @CorvoSilver,
Thank you for the update! I'm glad that this issue has been resolved for you.
Regarding your other post, I created a megathread for it and I linked other reports to this megathread. I also collected all the details provided by other players including videos and passed them along to the development team for further investigation. Once we have an update, we are going to let everyone know through these forums.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused by this and I really appreciate your patience while our development team is investigating this.Official Response
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
