    Ok that's a serious one and a complicated one.

    1. Title: Can not start game
    2. Reproducible? yes
    3. Blocker? yes
    4. Details:
    So, if I fire up SotA through steam two things happen.
    1. It starts SotA twice. Always. No idea why. Running it from the installation folder without steam solves this problem
    2. I get a black screen. That usually always happens when I fire up SotA. It loads a bit and then I usually get the normal log in screen. But not this time. This time it switches me back to desktop but my cursor turns into the SotA cursor. I can not click on anything on my desktop. I can not switch back into the game, it's not reacting at all.
    I can "tab out" by pressing the windows button so I can use my desktop again but when I try to switch back to SotA nothing happens.

    Specs:
    16 GB RAM
    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz
    Radeon RX 5700 XT (eGPU)
    Windows

    Scrap that.
    Seems to be an issue between Unity and the latest 2 AMD drivers. Affected all of my Unity games.
    Going back to the 20.2.2. drivers fixed all issues for me.

    From the drivers? Every Version above 20.2.2 as it seems thoug I only tried 20.4.2 and 20.5.1.
    I remember having issues with 20.3.??? as well but that was something general and nothing connected to Unity or SotA.
