Free Trial: Load to Black Screen and Music


AnimusVirtus

 

Posted

I just downloaded the free trial and loaded it up. Got a LOADING image then a black screen with sound (quasi computer-techy-waiting room) pressing return gives me a "ehh!" sound as if I am doing something wrong so I am assuming there is a display issue going on.

I run a Vista rig using 32 colors. I've already fiddled with the properties for the startup but haven't found the proper combo? Not sure why I see nothing ...

Anyone know the solution?

Happened to me, too. I'm also running Vista, with NVdia Geforce 9400 GT. I have no problem at all opening the EU game, but the NA trial opens only onto a black screen with the music. The program is running, and sounds like its waiting for my U & P, but no vision.

Very baffling.

OK, it seems to have fixed for me after downloading the very latest driver from NVidia.

Still puzzled about why I could play on EU but not NA servers with the old driver, though.

Try using Tweak CoH to change the ingame settings while not in game ( it changes the registry entry)
