I was able to play the older version but once the new version hit I would boot it up and it would show the logos then go to a black screen and not go any further. Anybody else have this problem and know how to solve it?

Edit: I wrote this post like 4:30 in the morning I now realize thatvis is a GOG site not for steam I am unsure if this post will help I apologize


This is what fixed it for me

Simply add '-ngxdisableota' (without quotes) to the Witch of Fern Island launch options on Steam. this also works for Palworld

i'm pretty sure both games run on the same engine or something similar so if you had this issue for Palworld it should work on both i hope this helps there is a reddit post by u/canamericanguy if you want to read more about it :)
