Steam platform
Always black screen on boot after Ep4 update - can't play the game! Tried everything. Please advise.
Same here for me... I'm on Windows 7 and it looks like some sort of video codec issue.
edit: Deleting/renaming the intro video gets me to the main menu. I think it has to do with this: https://hinterlandgames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043926832-Black-Screen-After-Disclaimer

It's been a while since I last played TLD, and man had I some intense (and refreshing) experience. Good game, HL.

If he were towards the back of the bus, and survived the crash with Hobbs, then he would not have been able to leave Milton. There are no exits out of the region, until Will creates one using Lily's gear. If he were towards the front of the bus, you could argue he was ahead of the collapse, and simply exited the bus out the front door. Followed the highway to some new region, perhaps Perseverance Mills, then hit Pleasant Valley, then the Winding River, and reached Carter via the back entrance.
And there's another dead convict found along the Lake River... Maybe he managed to get out along with Mathis.

It must be someplace high above the Ravine trestle... you can make out the fallen engine right in the center of the pic.
What I bring to the table is goating into unique areas.
...well done sir!

There used to be a rabbit patch in a kind of a nook along the tracks towards the Muskeg tunnel... it's right next to the Dave's Corner, but from the other side of rocks.

And astonishingly, I still haven't found a prybar, after I've travelled about half of the island.
You have been checking behind tolet bowls, haven't you?

However drinking only coffee seems to lower the heart bar
Now that is odd. Can you confirm this? You weren't freezing at the time were you?
BTW I found that the stim comes very handy for that last tall climb right before the Summit... it's possible even to reach the plane wreck sprinting before it wears off.

Yeah, talk about hauling ass...

What I saw, when the crank wears off, it just sets your stamina to zero, no other debuffs incurred. Tecnically, if you parch and starve yourself consistently, then you can subside on coffee entirely to keep yourself going... until both your food/drink gauges will have filled up. I also think, even after that, taking a sip to fill that last empty wee bit of either gauge should keep the "Fatigue reduced" buff perpetually...
TLD wikia probably has some data and actual numbers pertaining coffee/stamina, to crunch upon if one wished, if it's not too outdated by now.

About the red-marked route of yours, I'd say you have the point... I certainly remember I used to get on the Ridge in that place... but this was ages ago. Just like the map shows, it used to take you right to the ridge cave. They apparently modified the terrain in that area, maybe sometime when Wintermute did came out?
Nowadays, it's still possible to follow the road past the bridge a bit until you see a huge rock to your right and the terrain noticeably levels... there's a short path that'll take you to the cave, but it's easy to lose your tracks in there, and it's a wolf-gauntlet.
I hate that place with passion... at the Ridge cave there are usually a wolf or two, and they will come down to get your ass amongst the rocks as you're making your way uphill... if I have to go through Skeeter's, I take the ropes... so I will have more range as I approach.
As for the challenge... I'm no expert, last time it took me around 5 and a half days to complete, got quite lazy on the return leg though. Procuring Joe from random loot is a gamble, and looting everything takes a load of precious time... I guess I never bothered much and saved what I had been finding for the final push to the Summit...

You ought to know the place... the map with the trestle... and big fallen tree bridge... yellow railway engine crashed down below... be sure to bring your own rope... and coffee, preferrably.

Mr. Quonset Manager, Sir, wow, what I've just read, it's just... the most totally completely insane mental thing out there.

Another really cheap trick is downward slope boosting... that's what I call it. Probably you've seen this happen... when you're plodding along, say, with 50 kgs of stuff weighing your ass down, you're barely moving... now, make your character go down a slope of any sort (even a little stone will suffice), you would get an abnormal speed boost, to the point you would continue moving at almost normal walking speed... just don't release your forward key and you can go on like this indefinitely, regardless if it's uphill or downhill. In the mines, with all the rocks strewn around, it happens all the time... once you've got the knack of it, it becomes really addictive.

You mean this one, perhaps?
2001: A Space Odyssey by Kubrick and Clarke... although it has alien monoliths indeed, it doesn't exactly ring a bell...
Besides, I heard there's a sort of homage to Carpenter's The Thing somewhere under the ice in FM...

Monolith Lake it is again. Dunno if this has been brought up before... but why Monolith Lake?
When I first stood and pondered this thing near the lake, very soon it sort of clicked in my head... There is an old Spielberg movie about aliens, contact and whatnot, Close Encounters of 3rd Kind... If I'm remembering the plot right, in the film the contact was to took place on a sort of tower-like mountain (a mesa is it?) in the desert... could it be a reference?

I assume that the mountaineers hut counts as outdoors?
Alas, it doesn't. Its porch though is (almost entirely) windproof to keep the fire going, or instead you can stoke up the fireplace and sleep it off hugging the wall outside... or inside the fishing hut on the lake...

As I was reading this, pretty soon I was thinking about that guy from the song The End of Radio by Shellac.
Is this really broadcasting if there's no one out there to recieve?

Where did we learn Mathis's name though?
I think it's shown during the Ep.2 credits sequence, when they list the voice actors. A character named Mathis comes last, so there...

Well, I guess that's what you get for using a "no longer supported" operating system... Hoping you will fix this soon HL!
As of now, I think I'm better off to my sandbox...
