Black screen
« on: January 02, 2008, 06:04:55 pm »
Hello everybody. I have some kind of problem when I try to play Soldat. The menu appears normally but when I join a game or start one of my own the screen turns black and I can't see anything, is there any way to fix this problem? I have the latest version of DirectX 9 by the way.

Try rebooting your computer for a start.

Have you tried updating your video drivers? That seems to correct a lot of issues with Soldat not showing up properly.

He already stated that he has done this already, hence my suggestion.

Well... after all I could update my video driver. However the problem is still there... is there any specific settings in the setup or any other way to fix it?

And by the way... the game sometimes give me that DirectX error at the start unless I check the "Force software" box

You shouldn't check the "force software" thingy. If you updated your drivers correctly, it should work.
