[Known]Can't See Anything, Graphics Not Loading?

I've tried changing all the graphic settings in game, to no avail. Alas, I cannot make out anything to allow the game to be playable.

Windows 10, 64bit
Graphics Chipset: AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series (Catalyst Version 17.2.1)
CPU Type: AMD A10-7800 Radeon R7, 12 Compute Cores 4C+8G

 

I have the same, was just going to post about it.

1. Title: Can't See Anything, Graphics Not Loading
2. Reproduction Rate: Always. Last three releases since I reinstalled the game after a long break.
3. Blocker? YES
4. Details: See post above and the graphics.
5. Steps to Reproduce: No idea. Though the log files show some missing resources?
6. User Specs: Intel i3-6100@3.7 GHz, 16GB DDR4 Ram, ATI-7950 3Gb, Driver V 17.2.1, Win 10 Pro 64bi. 1920x1080, 59hz screen res

I enclose the output_log.txt file:

LOL, you have the exact same setup I'm using. i3 6100, 16GB DDR4 and 7950 And of course I'm having the same problem. I actually created a thread on Steam discussions.

http://steamcommunity.com/app/326160/discussions/0/135510393201187437/

 

We are now aware of this issue and will work toward a fix asap. Thank you for reporting. 42423

 

Thanks! Was looking forward to trying things out during this trial period. Alas, hopefully next time.

 

Reading the comments in the Steam Community Thread on this, I created a shortcut to Shroud of the Avatar.exe directly and then opened the properties and added -force-d3d9 to the end of the Target field. Then instead of running the launcher, I loaded that shortcut to the game client directly instead and graphics loaded correctly.

 

I'm glad this worked, however we caution that it's more of a bandaid than a solution. This may correct some issues, but will also result in potentially higher memory issues.
