NAPOLEONBLWNAPRT: So far, every time I use the VK, once the test completes, it goes back to the main screen and I have no mouse pointer and I am stuck.
The fix with setting the Compatibility and set to run as Administrator did not work.
If I wait as another poster stated, it eventually comes back but this is a bug in my opinion.
I also noticed in the console (`/~ key) that there a lot of failures, mostly audio files failed to open.
GOG needs to fix this.
You are correct. My fix does not work. I have Acronis True Image 2021, which includes Acronis' "protection features". In my case, I believe it has something to do with this issue. I COMPLETELY turned off both protection and "ransomware" protection, rebooted, and that delay went away (so far). I complained to GOG but they just told me that Nightdive has to fix it. You probably won't get too far with GOG.
The delay came back, so I agree with you that it's probably just a bug. I think Acronis is involved somehow, but it's not consistent. I've found that if it completes with either replicant or human, it ususally hangs. If it just "terminates", or you cancel it with the X, it usually does not hang. Just my observations. I've been testing it with a save that has a V-K in it, just because I'm stubborn.
