When I play to press to continue it will turn black screen.
I was able to play the game for last few weeks but now when I started to play and press to continue it will turn black screen. I already followed all the instruction to fix but still I'm having issue. verify game, reinstall, change the video graphics to standard, update driver. downloaded nvidia. all of these are not working.

Hello there,
Thank you for your report.
We are aware of issues where after the title/login screen, the client goes to a permanent black screen even after verify + reinstall, often tied to package verification or damaged files/drives rather than just graphics settings. We are currently investigating these issues.
Since you’ve already done all the usual steps (verify, reinstall, drivers, graphics preset), the next useful things are:
Check Windows and your drive health
Make sure Windows Update has installed all pending updates, then reboot.
Run a disk check on the drive where Marathon is installed (e.g. chkdsk /f from an elevated Command Prompt) to rule out subtle disk errors, which have been linked to this kind of black-screen hang on some machines.
Try a different install location (if you can)
Install Marathon to a different SSD/NVMe and test launching from there; moving off a problematic drive has helped in some cases.
