OK, I finally have to chime in here...
Prior versions worked fine. However with this update I have (HAD!) the black screen right after entering your name.
I got past that by squashing the windowed screen to about 1 inch tall, at which point just a fraction of a letter showed up on the left side of the screen. Clicked that, and the dialog started again. However I still have no images anywhere except for the graphic/animation on the opening screen (language selection/start screen). No map after the initial dialog (and no images in the initial dialog), and NOTHING but the back button on the controls screen.
Tried several resolutions, window/non-window, installed the C++ patch, have the latest video drivers, got the K-Lite codec (that was a waste), use 7-zip which is updated, relevant pc data is W10 1804, 8 Gb Ram, Intel 4600, i5-7200.
What have I not tried, or is there any idea what to try next?
Thanks,
