Rift Apart causing my whole monitor to go black.
I decided to go back to Rift Apart to replay it, since I enjoyed it so much the first go around. And when I went to replay it, I moved it to my D Drive (D Drive games run better than my E Drive, which is where it was previously), and I also removed "dstorage" and "dstoragecore" from the folders, because I remember doing that last time I played to improve performance.
Now, the game isn't laggy or anything, and from what I've seen (which isn't much) is it runs fine. The new issue is that it causes my entire monitor to black out, not just the game, the whole monitor, no mouse, no applications, nothing. And it doesn't do this after playing for some minutes, it does it straight after launching the game. Luckily, I have a second screen, so I can just close it that way.
I'm just curious if anyone knows how to fix this, I've done so much to attempt it, verifying files, turning on compatibility mode, running as administrator, even disabling fullscreen optimization, and nothing works. I've also tried turning off fullscreen in the game, but the screen cuts to black so fast I can't even do that.
My monitor just keeps going black when I boot up the game. And what's worse is, no matter where I look, I can't find anyone else whose had a similar incident, so that's why I'm taking matters into my own hands and asking reddit. So... please help.
Update:
I forgot alt+enter existed, so I managed to exit fullscreen.
Regular Fullscreen works just fine, but for some reason, Exclusive Fullscreen is what makes the monitor go black.
