[h1]In case ZKW-Reborn launches at black screen..[/h1]
and you have updated your [b]Windows 10[/b] to the [b]creators update[/b], then there's a very high chance that ZKW-Reborn (among some other games) can go into a plain black screen on startup, even though the game is still running (no pun intended) in the background, and you can hear the music.
[h1]How to fix this?[/h1]
The issue can be fixed in most cases, thankfully.
You need to go to :
[b]C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Zombie Kill of the Week - Reborn[/b]
and then find the [b]options.ini[/b] file. Open this with a regular text editor app, and change the [WINDOWS] portion of the ini file as following:
[b]
[Windows]
CreateTexturesOnDemand=1
AlternateSyncMethod=1
VertexBufferMethod=1
SleepMargin=10
[/b]
I know this is a stupid workaround, but as it stands, there's really nothing I can do to fix this issue. It's very frustrating for me as a developer, and I truly hope you will understand that this is not directly the game's fault.
[h1]Old stuff[/h1]
[strike]As for right now, I, unfortunately, don't know. I have only now realized the link between the Creators update, and this black screen issue. I'm trying to look into it, and in case I find a solution (or if any of you know how to get around this) I will update this blog post to give the solution to you[strike]
[h1]So what. We just supposed to sit here, an cry?[/h1]
If that's something you want to do, I'm not going to stop you from doing so.
But if not, no. You can still play the game on windowed mode just regularly. Alt+Tab trick doesn't seem to be working for most, but it's something you should try anyways.
For now, all we can do, is to sit tight, and hope that Microsoft will get this issue fixed. So keep your Windows up to date, in case the miracle happens!
