Title: Main window gray
Post by: Elton "Eltis" Megabazos on February 18, 2013, 03:17:03 pm
I'm doing the tutorial and are at the point where i'm going to make the iron-pick. I quit the game at that point and now when I'm going to continue the game the window is all grey. The controls and panels are there but not "the world".

Restart does not help. I just comes back to the same situation. Now what?

best bet is to make a helpdesk ticket clicking on 'helpdesk' at the top of the forum.  They will get you sorted.

I have got this a couple of times and was able to fix by one of the following

*Press Escape, select options and change screen resolution (change back when fixed)
* Restart game a couple of times normally does it
* Or you can try pressing Ctrl-D to respawn

You revive at the nearest Tutorial NPC.

Just an FYI, this kind of thread should be created in the Tech Forum so that the devs know there is a problem. They may be reading all threads anyway but they also might only be reading the Tech Forum to look for bugs/issues like this.

@Jane, that's pretty cool! Does it cause any problems with completing the tutorial?

Reviving to jump to the next NPC does not have any issues that I am aware of.
And you are not allowed to skip a NPC ... as you get auto-revived to the nearest NPC if you wander too far off the yellow-brick road.

That's pretty cool too! It lets people wander around and experience the landscape and critters in the area without any real danger.

@Eltis: Glad to hear you're able to see again. 8-)
