Tales of Kenzera: ZAU Will not start...
Please HELP!!!... I really want to like this game, but I can't even play it because I keep getting a black screen every time I try to start the game. I looked for a solution to this issue online, but nothing worked. Admittedly, my computer is old, but it should still be just enough to run the game. Processor AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core Processor (3.40 GHz) Installed RAM 16.0 GB (7.93 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display Also, my graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, and I have more than enough space on my SSD.

game will not launch
I am using steam for launching the game. I recently downloaded the game, when i went to launch it asked me to update my .NET framework. I updated said .NET and tried to launch the game. It did not launch, it in fact restarted my computer. I have so far verified the files, updated the drivers for my GPU, uninstalled and re-installed the game and reverified the files and it will still not even launch to the loading screen and restarts my PC immediately.

I'm in act 3, I finished going through the Azde's Cave but the "Escape the Azde's Cave" objective wasn't updated, so I can't continue with the story. When I glided down, the dialogue with Zau saying "I-- I flew, I actually flew!" started, and from what I watched in YouTube, the "Escape the Azde's Cave" objective should complete when this dialogue ends. But it didn't complete. I may have been because, before the dialogue sequence finished, I ran back inside the cave to see if there was some secret I missed.

[BUG] - Inconsistent Spirit Ritual completion state
Since the 1.5 update, I've noticed that the spirit ritual completion numbers are inconsistent on the map. I think this is a combination of the new spirit ritual trials, and my game state before the update. Before the update, I had completed Act 2 and was going back through incomplete regions to find more of the collectibles before proceeding. Regarding Spirit Rituals specifically, I had: - discovered the Spirit Ritual in The Wildwood but only beaten 1 or 2 of the trials -- so it was not complete - discovered and completed the original 3 Spirit Ritual trials in The Great Cliffs Since the update, I've beaten the original 3 Spirit Ritual trials in The Wildwood, and I've beaten some of the newly added trials in both locations. The map now shows: - the Spirit Ritual in The Wildwood is incomplete (0/1), even though I've beaten the original three. I would assume this means I now have to beat all 6 for it to be marked complete, except... - the Great Cliffs Spirit Ritual still shows as completed 1/1 on the map, even though I have not beaten the newly added trials Obviously this is not a big deal, and I love the game so much so far, but it is an inconsistency in behavior so I thought I'd call it out. Update 4 Dec 2024: I just completed the game (so beautiful) and 100%-ed all achievements, so this inconsistency did not prevent me from fully completing the game. I did ultimately beat all of the newly added spirit trials as well. [ Personally, I would have preferred to see the new trials separated out in the map status somehow, since the original trials grant actual gameplay boons towards a 100% run, but the new ones are just "extra credit" -- but that comes down to a difference of opinion on implementation. ]
