Cheers.

edit: bah nevermind... it just decided to start working after 20 minutes of pointless ladder banging..

Well now to top it off, Im on deck but everythign is pitch black. I mean EVERYTHING. If i press esc the place lights up in the options screen but as soon as i go back into the game it goes pitch black again and nothing happens, I just run around like a headless chicken waiting for something to happen. First impressions are very low i must say..

the pitch black seems to be a new error affecting alot of people =/ hmmm
