Hi folks,

Just bought SOMA today and was really getting into the gameplay. Made it to Communications Dome, and once the screen went black after the water seals blow out, game stuck on black screen. Force Quit out and now any time I open SOMA I get a hanging black screen.

Appreciate any help or info or indications of this being patched.

SOMA v1.02

MacBook Pro Mid 2010
OSX 10.8.5
2.66 GHz i7
8GB Ram 1067MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M
Crucial SSD (Model CT480M500SSD1)

As a note to anyone else having trouble getting the game to start, I was running f.lux in the background. Once I quit it, the game loaded.

Still hanging on black screen though once I continue the game at the Communications Dome.

Started the game today and I believe I have the same problem. I fell and when looking up could see what appeared to be incorrect normals; the room above was grey boxes which stood out against the black.

Now everything is black except for the crosshair dot.

Save and Exit. Check Game files. Still black. Not sure what to do to proceed.

Windows 8.1
i7-7700K
GTX 970

EDIT:

Well I solved my issue:

Delete the game configuration file "Default_user_settings.cfg" located here %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Soma\Main\

and loaded the save previous to the problem.

Works, and then I went and turned off the chromatic aberration, etc... again.

I think I fell through a hole in the geometry.
