Megaquarium – Game Starts with Black Screen – Issue Fix
Your game may be having trouble accessing the save folder, please try the steps below;
Cannot save to Saves folder
If you get an error message about not being able to access the saves folder then you probably have a permissions issue. Try these things:
1. Run the game in administrator mode
2. If that doesn’t work, navigate to the saves folder:
Windows
C:\Users\insert username\Documents\My Games\Megaquarium\Saves
OSX
Application Support/Megaquarium/Saves
Linux
$XDG_DATA_HOME/.local/share/Megaquarium/Saves
…and try to give your user profile full read/write access to these folders.
You may also need to remove “Read Only” checkbox from the folder (Windows 8.1)
If this does not work, then you can try deleting the global.data file from the saves folder. Not this will reset your game progress, so it is recommended you try other things first!
C:\Users\insert username\Documents\My Games\Megaquarium\Saves
