The game screen is black, with only sound and no characters.

When I open the game, the screen is black. Although the game interface exists, the background is all black. When reading save files or starting a new game, the screen is also black and prompts will pop up, but it's useless... there is no screen.

The character customization menu also has an issue of incomplete display

Oh man that is not cool! That's also not normal. We haven't had any other reports like this. We can take a look at your logs and try to help you figure out what is going on. You can find them here:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Eek\House Party\

Please post the Player.log and Player-prev.log and we can take a look. You can post them here, or if you'd prefer to keep them private (or if you prefer discord), you can open a ticket in #create-ticket on our discord: https://discord.gg/eekgames and post them there.

Thanks!

Alex

Have you recently updated your graphics drivers or installed any new software that might conflict with the game?

This is a good suggestion:

Unfortunately, looking at those log files, it looks like your PC doesn't meet the minimum requirements for House Party. Unless there is a missing driver and you're using a built in graphics card instead of a discrete one that could also be installed.

What type of PC are you using? Is it a laptop? Can you find a model number?

You can try the steps in this post below, but if your PC doesn't meet the minimum requirements, these steps may not help.

Unfortunately, that is less than the minimum requirements for House Party.

The minimum requirements are:

Intel Pentium G4500, AMD FX8350 or equivalent

8 GB RAM

Direct X 11 GPU w/ 2GB Available Video Memory

8 GB HDD Space (preferably an SSD)



You can try adding more RAM if possible, but your CPU and graphics card don't meet the minimum requirements ether, so it's likely you would still have some trouble if you just added more memory.

I used to have no problem playing the old version, but the current version is like this.
