Could you please provide a screenshot of what you're seeing in-game?

I believe this usually this happens when you lose 'WaterMill.fhm'. IF it's your start screen that is black. There is a backup of that file here (https://www.mediafire.com/file/ia4wu3jrifh9i1s/terrains+default.zip) that you can download.

Download that and head to terrains > fhmaps and copy 'WaterMill.fhm' drag it to your current fhmaps folder and replace. I could be wrong though, give it a shot anyway!

Yes, when I run as an admin this happened. When I first opened it was fine. Now the background for my characters & the title screen is glitched pitch black.

Basically just your normal feral heart title screen with a black screen, for characters, my characters are just fine but the background is also black.

Nothings missing, I just reinstalled the game!

Hrrrmh. That looks like it would be cause by a missing podium file since that's what the background of character selection is. Though a fresh re-install should have it be there already. Try downloading mine.

Try downloading this (https://www.mediafire.com/file/3qisaao3oq1q041/fhPodium.fhm/file), and dragging/replacing to:
FeralHeart > media > terrains > fhmaps.

Nope doesn't have my problem, my screen isn't completely black I can still see the login and the other options, the background is just black.

Oh man it's worse than I thought! When I try to play everything is black and I can only see my character!

Hello again!

Try this (https://www.mediafire.com/file/816yk6dc5mcv47k/FeralHeart+default.zip) download for FeralHeart, as it seems to work for certain people. Download it as usual. ^^

I also suggest attempting to update your graphic card drivers since they have to do with game visuals. There is a tutorial by our dear Red on how to do that here. (https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=514.0)

I can do things normally like type or do emotes. But we're all just floating, in a black void.

I just got a new computer... Why do I need to check?

Hey! What I'm assuming is, if everything is black, you're missing terrain textures! (: Easy fix (if this is the case)

I also suggest trying and downloading a interface mod or if someone can get you the textures for the original interface that'd be sweet because I don't have them. here's a link to one here! (https://www.deviantart.com/unnuuk/art/FeralHeart-Wild-Interface-and-Podium-Overhaul-617057130) All of these files if you do download it, would be places into FeralHeart > Media > Textures

For the Terrain Textures, I suggest downloading this (https://www.mediafire.com/file/x25m7dm1f0igksq/terrains_-_textures.zip/file) (I uploaded it myself no worries) and copy and paste all the files in the folder into FeralHeart > Media > Terrains > Textures.

----

Please do let me know how this goes and if it helps at all!!

Great the new gui looks cool! But I'm still missing my map textures.. So it's still just a gui & a black background.

Nothing seems to fix my pitch black background.

Oh, it's this issue again. Seems like this always happens when you don't have write permissions to the FeralHeart directory. You'll have to run it as an administrator or install the game somewhere other than `Program Files` and where you have write access for your user (I think just on `C:/` is good enough).

I deleted the old feral heart and downloaded the new one, and now all my mods are gone and all the zips and .rars I downloaded vanished now I have to do everything all over again :(

Okay, someone can lock up this post now. I got the problem fixed already, I just can't play now.
