UI isn't working, the text side of Cosmos OS, is working, the UI/Canvas isn't working, i write my code always but I legitimately got ChatGPT to write code, but it just goes black, even canvas.clear into yellow shows absolutely nothing, it doesn't work across all UI, not just the one project, i tested. I AM LOSING MY MIND

I REALLY NEED HELP. PLEASE

[9xbt]

that is very weird, i dont see anything wrong with that code

[9xbt]

also what hypervisor are you using to run your OS on? vmware, vbox, qemu...

[OOFMAN29803]

vmware, omg I forgot about this

[OOFMAN29803]

also what hypervisor are you using to run your OS on? vmware, vbox, qemu...

I am using VMWare Player and I updated it, and Visual Studio 2022. It will only work in Administrator as well, the whole Cosmos thing and it stopped working, but even before the update as well

[OOFMAN29803]

For anyone going to ask me, No, again to reiterate, this is system Wide, I have tried other things in other projects. I am just met with a black screen

[Pokeman2003]

I have a similar problem. Copying the code from the graphics section of the documentation(I'm not surprised it didn't work, it said devkit only,) at ONE POINT resulted in a white screen with the first 8 or so rows of pixels being red, with the next half row being red. Now it just results in a black screen and an immediate crash to VMWare.

The code is functionally identical, sans the fact it's written in VB.NET instead and skips the image drawing because I had a non-baked image I wanted to load and use.

If you're wondering about the lack of debug, I have no choice. There's physically no means for me to debug it because it can't find VMware.

[dumorando]

Same thing happens with me

[dumorando]

I ended up configuring the project to use VBE and then using a vbecanvas, works for me now
