Same here with the symptoms. Can you tell me what your ConfigDiff.log says? It's located in ".../AppData/Local/WildLifeC/Saved/Logs".Even with this version, same problem, when the game starts there is a loading screen, then just a black screen with the patreon logo at the bottom..
After a fresh reinstall and config purge, mine always says:
"
----------------------------------- 2021.12.18-13.39.47 -----------------------------------
[File: WildLifeCSettings] [Found Version: False] [Old Version: 0] [New Version: 19]
Invalid version, resetting config "WildLifeCSettings.ini".
----------------------------------- 2021.12.18-13.39.47 -----------------------------------
[File: WildLifeCKeyMappings] [Found Version: False] [Old Version: 0] [New Version: 115]
Invalid version, resetting config "WildLifeCKeyMappings.ini".
----------------------------------- 2021.12.18-13.39.47 -----------------------------------
[File: WildLifeCGameState] [Found Version: False] [Old Version: 0] [New Version: 0]
Invalid version, resetting config "WildLifeCGameState.ini"."
The game then proceeds to crash everytime in the menu. (It doesn't look like a crash, but a crash log is created.) Each time changing up the config ini files version numbers.
On that note. //////////READ HERE//////////
Would anyone with a functioning latest build be so kind to tell me what version number they have in these 3 ini files above? Located ".../AppData/Local/WildLifeC/Saved/Config".
Open with notepad, second line "Version=?".
