Hello,

Unfortenetly I only have a black screen when the Game is running, after I change the focus with the Task Tab it actually shows. Strange.

Running on Windows 8.1 in Parallels 10. System Specs under Parallels: Intel Core i5 3,2, 4 Cores, Nvidia 755M 512MB (Direct X10 Mode), 8GB Ram.

Looking forward to a solution. ;-)
Thank you!

I don't have a Parallels setup to test but you could try enabling the windowed (borderless) mode. If it is already set to that try setting a full screen mode instead. These two modes handle the output differently so one might give the proper result.

Thank you. This did the trick, now I can see the game but it runs now with only 5 frames even with lowest settings. Usually Indie Games running great. So be warned if you want to play this one under Parrallels.

I have Win7 HE 64bit, Intel HD 4000 graphic card and 8Gb of system memory. When I launch the game, I get a black screen with no sound and the cursor shows a loading icon and then disappears.
Is there any solution for this?

UPDATE:
I solved the problem.
The problem was my firewall software, Private Firewall. Private Firewall has a process monitor, so when a new process starts it stops it and asks the user for permission to allow the EXE file to continue. When Oceanhorn - Monster of Uncharted Seas starts when launched it shows a black screen when loading, Private Firewall's process monitor stops Oceanhorn.EXE while the loading screen is showing. The black loading screen covers Private Firewall's window when it asks for permission for the process to be allowed, so I couldn't see it. You cannot select the Private Firewall window or even start Window's task manager. Therefore it seems that the program has crashed and just stuck on the black screen.
I solved the problem by manually adding the Oceanhorn.EXE file to Private Firewall's "allow" process list. After I did that the game started normally.
Maybe many people who have the same problem just need to check their computer software's process monitor or security software.
