Update (via EA_Nils): Many players had success following this post by redbadger22 (thanks!). If it does not help, please carefully read the instructions posted over here.

 

Everytime I open the demo I get this black screen and this llama face appears under cursor whenever i right click. I can't play it. Can someone help?

Are you the same user that posted this issue on the official forum ?

 

It's just so very weird.

 

Could you post your Computer's DxDiag?

Did you install the game in Turkish ?

 

Your computer is not the issue. That's way better than what I'm trying it on.

There's no Turkish option. I think problem is the game itself

Hi,

 

Would you be comfortable changing your Windows User settings to English US for a quick test? (Turkish version)

The studio is currently investigating this issue and this could be helpful.

 

Cheers,

Nils

Just curious, is the lama always in the same spot or does it change location ?
