Mind Over Magic is a game in which players take on the role of the principal of a magical school. Their task is to take care of everything related to the management and operation of this facility, from expanding the rooms to recruiting new students and setting a new syllabus. Unfortunately, not all fans of this production can fulfill this role, mainly because of the black screen that appears for some players. From our guide you will learn what this can be caused by and what to do in such a case.

What can be done about black screen in Mind Over Magic?

For many players, the problem initially does not appear. The game starts normally, the menu displays correctly. Only after choosing the difficulty level and starting the gameplay, a black screen appears. In this case, it is impossible to talk about the game freezing, as the pause menu appears correctly, and various game sounds can be heard in the background.

As of now, there aren’t any known workarounds to this problem. The only thing which can be done at this point is to press the "F8" key, which will allow you to send a message to the game developers with your save file and logging information, which will be very helpful in fixing this bug.

Potential reasons for the appearance of a black screen

While the bug itself is very bothersome to parts of the community, it does not appear for everyone. It may be caused by shader loading taking too long, due to a weaker processor. If this is the case, try waiting longer before shutting down the game, and perhaps the problem will resolve itself. Also make sure that your PC meets the minimum requirements. If any of the components is too weak, there is a good chance that this is why you are experiencing the black screen problem.
