I just had a black/frozen screen issue when trying to load the map at the start of any day, from any save, on multiple graphics qualities. Here is how I debugged the actual issue and resolved:
- I checked the output log in "C:\Users\...\AppData\LocalLow\KsTgames\The Twist" and noticed it was reporting a failure to load assets from a file "...\GAME-FOLDER-NAME\TheTwist045Final\TheTwist_Data\sharedassets7.assets.resS"
- I found this file in my explorer and noticed that it was suspiciously sized at 0 KB
- I opened the file in 7zip and noticed that it was NOT supposed to be 0KB, but ~960,000 KB
- I tried to re-extract this file, and 7zip gave me an error. I tried this from the part01 and part03 .rar files, same thing.
- At this point I remembered that 7zip was giving me issues during initial extraction. I heard that I was not supposed to have to extract each .rar file, but I did actually have to do that with 7zip.
- I checked my 7zip version, it was the latest stable version on

(v19.00)
- I then decided to download

and try that. WinRAR was able to successfully extract the file (hopefully obvious that you should use the one from the part03 folder since it is the newest).
Game worked after that, was able to start a new game.
Anon4321 FYI, if you want to add to your list.
TLDR: Do not use 7zip to extract files. Use WinRAR.
