cannot start a new game

amead17 · 03-27-2021, 10:49 AM

I have not tried starting a new game for a while and when I came to try and start a new game today OOTP 21 just gave me a blue box with nothing happening and I have to kill the game via task manager as I cannot exit or anything else. This happens on the starting of a custom game or on the start of a new historic game.

Games I currently have saved are running as expected and can be started as per normal.

I also tried downloading the latest patch and re-installing and it did not change anything.

I have taken a trace of what OOTP was doing but I am not sure that it has logged anything
ootp_trace.txt

Can someone take a look please.

OK an update to this.

I can create a new game but it is just the screen that is blank we asking to start a new game. If I start clicking from the bottom upwards randomly I can find the box that says no to the challenge mode. This then goes to the correct screen to start a new game and I can see the things I need to see.

I suspect this might be an issue for my laptop not showing the screen and will play with my display settings to see if I can fix it. If anyone has any ideas on this let me know.
