Anyone else noticing this? I set it to Windowed mode - 1600x900 resolution but resolution doesn't seem to matter. I choose a team and the game seems to hang @ 79% loading. This is on the latest version (installed today using Galaxy client). I hear a scribbling sound as it hits 79%, but the screen never changes.

I just tried full screen, restarting with a new team, but I can't get past the Loading @ 79% once I see my team on the screen. Not sure how to proceed.

Did you ever resolve this? I'm seeing exactly this problem in the latest release...

And you? Running into the same 79% problem...

My "experiments" are pointing towards "DLC" incompatibility, if you roll back the game to version "489" instead of the latest "489 TEST" it will work again.

I checked it by downloading the exes instead of galaxy install, and after updating the base game the DLC's were throwing errors instead of installing, rolling back to "489" (which is the version for the DLCs) made the game work again.
Having the same problem, can't find a solution
my abbeycore says:
2018-06-12 23:20:60.00 [ERROR] Trying to initialze viewport with layer configuration 'viewport_fog' but it could not be found
2018-06-12 23:20:60.00 [ERROR] Trying to initialze viewport with layer configuration 'island_default' but it could not be found

tried checking files, older versions, nothing seems to work :(
I have the same issue. I tried to start a game on 2 PC and on both loading stops on 79%. Somebody know when the next update will come out or if there are any known fixes?
Exact same issue here as well.
I had the same issue recently as well. It appears that there is some kind of incompatibility of save files between versions, which has an effect even if you don't currently have a game on-going.

What worked for me was to find the save directory (on Windows: <UserDir>\Documents\Renowned Explorers International Society), and rename it to something else. After that I ran the game and started a new game, and it worked!

After that I quit, and then copied some files from the old save directory across so that I didn't lose all the progress/unlocks. I think the only files needed are:
- savedata\achievements
- savedata\metagame.1

Once I copied those files back, I restarted the game and it now works properly, plus all my previous unlocks are still there.

Games in progress will be lost, as that's where the issue appears to be. So as long as you don't go copying any of the save game files (e.g. game, or save_1.1, etc.) things should be fine.

Tried your solution, unfortunetly it didn't work for me :(
Hi!

I've got the same issue
i deleted the saves and rollbacked the game but it is still broken:(
Same here. Can't find any working solution.
Same here. So this game is real broken, don't buy !!!
Edit: The dev has fixed it, the excellent game runs good now.

Version 489 TEST looks suspicious
Exactly the same issue here. Exactly the same errors in abbeycore.txt too:

2018-06-18 24:55:32.00 [ERROR] Trying to initialze viewport with layer configuration 'island_default' but it could not be found
2018-06-18 24:55:32.00 [ERROR] Trying to initialze viewport with layer configuration 'viewport_fog' but it could not be found

^repeated over and over.

I literally just bought the game (and the more to explore DLC) today, so this is my first time playing it (rules out save file compatibility issues).

I tried uninstalling the DLC, but it still keeps stopping at 79%.

Rolling back to every available previous version on GOG doesn't solve the problem either.

And I was really looking forward to playing this too! Sigh.
