Black Screen On Startup

Steps to reproduce

Start the game.

Describe your issue

When I start don't starve, there will be no visuals to the game. I can hear the music playing, and am assuming i can click play and such, but I cannot see a thing. Please note this is the latest version (as of 1/13/13). Sorry if this is a waste of your time, it may just be my computer.

Welcome! Try running it in windowed mode (I believe alt+enter will do this).

[CtrlAltDefeat]

It is in windowed mode. It is the first time ive ran the game on this computer. Any other suggestions?

[CtrlAltDefeat]

I have a screenshot of the problem. I am running the game on Windows Vista btw.

[Toaster Fu]

Sorry but no. The only other time this was reported windowed mode fixed it.:/ In \Steam\steamapps\common\dont_starve\bin there's a file called log.txt, could you post the contents? It might help the Devs.

May I ask what your system specs are?

Have you updated your video drivers?

[CtrlAltDefeat]

I'm planning on updating my drivers Soon so i think that's the problem
