Black Plague crashes after intro cutscene

07-09-2010, 12:29 AM

IN Black Plague, after the cutscene explaining the events in Overture at the beginning, I'm stuck on a loading screen and have to ctrl+alt+del out

Theres one of those 'black box' thingies too giving the crash report ...

Did anyone else have this problem and find a fix?

YES I FOUND A FIX! You need to go into the file in \Documents\Penumbra\Black Plague and open the settings.cfg file and edit what I have highlighted in bold and underlined (I'm sorry I don't know the file name that used to be there it was 2am when I finally got it fixed and playable, It had something to do with boat, I can remember that much. If you look in the Black Plague maps folder there is no map with the word boat in it...=-S)

I hope this helps everyone that has had this problem. I have not found many answers on this so I assume that this is not a problem everyone has.

I can't believe they blocked Fla♥♥♥♥ems="true" so the word that is in harts is F-L-A-S-H-I-T-E-M-S

steam really? I mean really?!?
/facepalm

Anyway this is the line that you need to change to what I have here

<Map GlobalScript="global_script.hps" File="level01_cells.dae" StartPos="link01" />

lmao... i'm guessing because there is a "swear" word imbeded in the other word... F-L-A- S-H-I-T-E-M-S [COLOR="Red"]

We are all better off not reading that evil evil word, for the greater good of humanity.

I second this.

I have spent hours trying to figure this out. Thank you SoullessDreamer.

I had the exact same problem as in the OP and this fix worked for me. Thanks a ton, SoullessDreamer. How did you figure this out?

Anyone know why this problem arises in the first place?
