Screen blackout

[Tybs]

Hi,

I seem to have an odd problem with soldat. Usually I can play without issues, but at (seemingly) random moments, the screen suddenly goes black (only the soldat screen: I don't use fullscreen). The game continues in the background: I still hear sounds and can shoot etc, but all visuals are gone. This problem is not solved by rebooting the game, the moment I get in a game (multiplayer or self-created, does not matter) the screen goes black again.

The only fix I found so far is switching to fullscreen, then going back to normal screen. This procedure is quite annoying, because I have to close the game, change config settings, restart the game, close the game again, change config settings again, etc...

Is this a known issue? And if it is, are there any (better) solutions available?

Thx in advance,
Tybs

I had this exact problem actually. Make sure you hardware acceleration is full (Ask someone else how to do that, it's in the control panel>system>somewhere there), also, make sure you have Directx 8.1 (9.0c is so much better, and it's free).

Thanks for the reply. When I can, I will check the hardware acceleration on the pc giving the problems... I seem to recall messing around with it some time ago. I'll let you know if it's causing the problem.

Well, had no problems anymore so far... maybe it really helps

Glad I helped.
