Alpha 12 issues.

[Aster198]

ever since i downloaded alpha 12 I've experienced two main issues.
1st the game black screens when i try to open the program, it will work for the first time after i open the program and play it, however it will black screen every time after.
2nd when playing the game colonists will not harvest plants under any circumstance, i cannot even designate plants to harvest. has anyone else experienced these problems?

Nope, never had such problems. Are you running vanilla or with mods?

First problem is the defense mod has not been updated to work with alpha 12.

[Aster198]

yeah tested it without the mod and its harvesting again, not sure if that caused the black screen or not but its a start. ty

Odd that you're getting a black screen after activating a broken/outdated mod.
One of the new systems in the game is the ability to recover from broken mods breaking the game. It can take a minute or so to recover when that happens.

I can't check right now, but I think that the system is turned off by default on fresh installs.

It defaults to on for fresh installs.

How long did you wait for the black screen? Like did you wait a minute or two or 20 seconds?

[Aster198]

waited over half an hour before i gave up.

When it comes to harvests it now matters what growing skill the colonist has for success chance and you can fail now so that might explain it.
