PC Screen goes black, then game crashes

[KageOkami35]

Howdy, this has been a problem for several versions of the game and thus, for a few years now. I just didn't realize it was caused by Rejuvenation itself until recently.

 

Basically, while I'm playing the game and seemingly at random, my entire laptop screen will go black. Then, a white box with an X that looks like it's for a webpage will appear in the corner. My desktop will soon reappear, though my wallpaper will still be black, and Rejuvenation will crash (with no error window or anything, the game simply closes itself). This is a pretty severe issue since it's affecting my laptop display as a whole, and I really hope I can either figure out what exactly is causing the issue, or bring awareness to the devs that this is a thing that's happening. I lost pretty substantial progress today on my fresh nuzlocke as a result of such a crash, since I redownloaded the game last night and forgot about my previous experiences with the crash.

 

As some extra, possibly relevant information, I run Windows 11, and my device specs are attached.

That sounds super annoying, especially since it’s not just crashing the game but messing with your whole screen. Have you checked Event Viewer (Win + X > Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application/System) to see if any errors pop up when it happens?

 

Since you’re on an i7-11800H, it could be a GPU driver issue - maybe try updating/reinstalling both your Intel UHD and dedicated GPU drivers. Also, right-click the game, go to Properties > Compatibility, and try disabling fullscreen optimizations or running it in Windows 10 compatibility mode.

 

Hope you can find a fix soon, losing progress like that is rough.

The only error I found was related to Acer Care Center and not Rejuvenation, so no luck there.

I will try the other things you suggested, and we'll see how it goes

Edit: I don't seem to have an option to run it in Windows 10 compatibility mode. It goes up to 8 and that's it
