v1.04
As soon as game starts the entire screen flashes white with the flashes randomly getting faster and slower. Uninstalling and reinstalling did not help nor did uninstalling, restarting computer, then re installing. Bug affected both academy and zones, did not effect title screen. Affected both the old save file and a new one.
Repro: Started up game, opened save file, screen began flashing

Some people have reported this issue and fixed it using the following information.
The graphics card is running out of memory because the game loads all the art assets at the begining. The art assets that did not load properly will occasionally display as giant white rectangles.
Until I can fix this properly, you will have to disable the load screen so the game only loads assets as it needs them. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Magicmaker\data\ and find a file called GLOBAL. Open it with notepad. Find the line
TRUE ;start with load screen
and change it to
FALSE ;start with load screen
this will skip the load screen and drop you into the first save file automatically. You can still access the title menu and your other saves safely through the pause menu. Since the game is loading during run time you might experience slight pauses (maybe about half a second) when loading up new menus or levels. If the flickering begins again after a long play session, you can stop it by quitting out of the game and then starting it back up again.
Please let me know if this doesn't work.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
