Issues fixed[edit]

Black screen upon loading game[edit]

This problem occurs because the game could not catch your PC resolution automatically, the solution is to exit fullscreen upon starting and play in windowed mode.

Workaround^[2] Start the game. Press `Alt`+`↵ Enter` at the black screen. Game should be windowed with display.

Workaround^[2]

Start the game.
Press Alt+↵ Enter at the black screen.
Game should be windowed with display.

FIX 2 :

1. Go to: C:\Users\YourName\Documents\My Games\SouthPark - The Fractured but Whole 2. Open state.cfg with notepad or notepad++ for your own sanity 3. Edit height and width parameter with LOWER values than your current desktop settings like I did from mine 1366x768 to 1024x600:

fullscreenSettings = { fullscreen = false, height = 600, maximized = false, refresh-rate-denominator = 1205540, refresh-rate-numerator = 72300000, width = 1024, x-pos = 0, y-pos = 0,

4 Save file 5 Right click on the file > Properties > Check "Read Only" and apply 6 Start the game That's all.

Issues unresolved[edit]

Black screen after hitting Enter in the main screen[edit]

Run in Windows 7 compatibility and as administrator^{[citation needed]} Players reported that running the game in Windows 7 compatibility options and as administrator sometimes help.
