Black screen upon startup

Hey guys, I just got CoX today and after patching when I try to start the game it says "Loading" then the screen goes black. I can hear the music and everything but my screen remains black. I've looked through the forums but can't find any solutions to my problem.

These video drivers often cause this issue. Going back to older drivers should fix it. Getting the latest drivers might fix it but they are very new so I'm not sure how they do with this issue.

---

Alright, thanks. I just got those drivers today as they were just released a few days ago. Do you know where I can get older drivers?

---

Actually, I found them. Should I roll back to 186 or 185?

---

Here be your drivers.

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.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

Working, thanks
