Huh... well I got in now, but only by entering my login info blind. Neither Safe Mode nor TweakCoH had any apparent impact aside from changing the screen resolution.

The screens leading in were still blacked out, until I hit an actual character list where all I could see was the character model, but I managed to get into the game. Now I've got a slightly discoloured world where a lot of faces are flat black and all the UI windows are black and dirty-edged. I can barely read them and changing video settings doesn't seem to affect the problem at all.

I guess I'll try updating my video drivers, but this is a brand new card so I doubt that's the issue.

Hey all,

I recently upgraded my hardware and switched to Windows 7. I've just reinstalled CoH and I'm having a wee bit of a video problem.

When I load the game from the launcher, I get nothing but a black screen.

I can hear the game music, and I can hear interaction sounds if I hit Tab or Enter, but I can't see anything. When I alt-tab out, my screen appears to be at around 800x600.

I don't have a clue how to deal with this since the only way I know to access the video settings is from within the game. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Oddly enough neither I (who have an active account) nor any of my friends (who have let theirs go inactive) got the email advising of this. I just happened to notice the post in the News section of the main CoH site this morning.

Bummer... I know they wanted to try I12 too. C'est la vie I suppose.

Come to think of it, I never got an email letting me know that I12 had gone live either... odd. I wonder if the mailer might be having problems with some types of email accounts.

This has probably been answered at some point, but I don't have time to read 35 pages before bed. When is this going into effect? My SG and I racked up a ton of debt today (mostly them not me thankfully ).
