Any attempt to use any previous time stamped saved file in the folder will net the same result. However starting a fresh game works fine

Same / similar issue on windows for me since the latest update. If I change the game to windowed mode from fullscreen in the options it doesn't happen as often. Also, I have to restart the computer and reopen the game on the first try to get the save file to load properly. Even then I still get random black screens.

This was fixed as part of v0.7.9. Thank you!
