Black Screen on Startup


Bright Shadow

 

Posted

I'm running on Windows 7 - 64 Bit and when I go to start the game it shows a little loading bar then just a black screen.

I have a custom built rig that can play Crysis on maximum settings O.o

Why does this dated game no work! *angry*

Rig:

Windows 7 64-bit
Intel Pentium Duo Wolfdale 2.8ghz
4 Gigs of Ram, DDR2
PNY Nvidia GTX 275 at 896 MB of video ram

Also I'm running the latest Nvidia drivers, 186.18, cause they offer support for Crysis and a plethora of other games I play.

Which unfortunately currently breaks CoH. Other than rolling back to the 185 drivers, can't help you, blame nVidia.

But I never had the 185 drivers O.o So how do I get them?

Do people ever use the Search Function?

Apparently not.

Here.


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.

Yes, well, even an experienced user as myself finds the search function lame on this board. Ah well.

I never use the board's search function. I google it with the qualifier site:boards.cityofheroes.com

Much more accurate and I can make multiple searches all within a few seconds rather than having to wait between searches.


Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!

I use the search all the time actually... (when I already know the name of a post I'm looking for. lol)

Yah but...if you just go back a few pages on the Tech forum, there are tons of "Black Screen" threads.
