Ex-Peppermint Start Problem: New solution found

First off the first screen is the only one without appropriate borders (except one of the ending screens)

It seems some people are having trouble with the screen switching over to the second screen.
Count to 60 or look at a watch. If you put the screen out of focus during that time; as with all d-mods; it will stop loading so then it won't work. It should take less then 60 seconds but if you want to find out if it is actually working or not you might want to wait that long just to make sure.

It will show the text (as white probably) still even for a while after it is dark because the text is still being spawned untill the screen fully switches.

Edit:
If that does not work "try moving switchmu and switchep out of the story folder.

If this is the problem, you might get stuck a bit later when trying to get off the screen.
To fix that move the instrock, insthit, and instmgc files."-me in a later post

It is odd because I and many other people do not get this problem.(which is why the game was released this way) It seems to depend on the machine.

Well this has been a really odd problem. When I ever faced anything near it while testing I just had to wait longer. I may be able to send you two replacement files for your story folder that might fix things. Or I guess it would be easier just to delete them. Try moving: switchmu and switchep out of the story folder.
If that doesn't work tell me and we may be able to try something else.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Edit:
If this is the problem, you might get stuck a bit later when trying to get off the screen.

Hey, lay off- maybe her life is as boring as mine.
(Plus, any D-mod that you haven't yet played is a pretty sweet thing.)

I could not get out of the starting screen, because that star was using brain 6 (Repeat). It often gave me problems in my D-Mods too. So I made an invisible object and attached the warp into it.
It seems like that warp does not like brain 6...
