I'm out again ( if anyone noticed ) :D
I went into my IWD file to fix the issue and got discouraged finding over 500 iwds then not wanting to spend a ton of time fixing it when it will probably happen again in 2 or 3 months.
Eventually I will find a boost of enthusiasm I'm sure.
I miss windows XP and DVD version!
Also miss playing with OH MY guys.

C U soon

The easy fix is to get rid of all the maps in "main." This black screen is because there is a conflict between maps and the game is hung up because of the conflict.

Also delete the files in "o3a," which is next to the "main" folder.

You will have to redownload, but should work.
