Sound but no video


 

Posted

Hello, Installed the game from the NCPatcher. Clicked the icon, start to load it up. Get a black screen with the hourglass for about 10-15 seconds, then the hourglass goes away and I hear menu music and can hear sounds when I type (Guessing its the login beeps) but no video. I have tried restarting, giving it admin rights and running in XP compatability. Couldn't find anything to help this situation on the boards, tried searching, I could have missed it.

AMD Athlon X2 6000+ 3.00ghz
3 Gigs of RAM
NVidia GeForce 260 896mb
Windows Vista 32 SP2

All drivers up to date. Please help.

Just a guess, since there is no information, but if you have the 186.xx video drivers they will cause this exact issue. Revert to the 185.xx drivers. There have been several posts about it in the past few days.

If that doesn't resolve the problems, I'd recommend starting with Zloth's ++ Common Solutions & Posting Guidelines ++ thread that is stickied in this forum.

Secondly, post a log from running CoH Helper as it will give information about your system and the CoH installation and settings.

Thirdly, post a log from running HijackThis. This will show what else is going on on your computer while you are playing CoH.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
