This works for me, WITHOUT CHANGING any of the game settings:
start your game
save the game
quit to main menü
open savegame with any texteditor, savegames are in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\DMM GAMES\STATIONflow\Saved Games\ (userprofile is probably C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME)
change "difficultyRating" to 1
save the file, load the game and play Why does this work? As most commentators pointed out: The game works if you change the difficulty to 'trival' with disabled achievements. Trival difficulty has a value of 1 in the savegame. Probably something in the achievement system breaks the game.
When you start new game you must do just one of these:
Activate "Unlock Entire Map" or
Activate "Unlock All Progression" or
Adjust the sliders until the difficulty becomes "Trivial" note: if you adjust construction time to x0.0, the "Tutorial" will not work, but normal map work just fine
I had the same problem, after the first day the screen went black. And the game did not continue. It occurred to me to move the settings and fixed issue. The solution I had was to move it to the startup settings. If the train stays at the station and another train arrives and the first one never leaves, it means that after the day the game will get stuck.
Well i have tried it again and i even deleted the previous saved files and changed the name from VALVE to something different. Still the same issue, on the first startup the window stays black and on the second startup i can see the main menu but in game it breaks and the problems occur which i mentioned before. Either Veetilah is really lucky or he is talking nonsense.
