Black screen Changing the compatibility did not help
Re: Black screen Changing the compatibility did not help
Here is a checklist of every known solution that I am aware of. I recommend trying them in order to see if they work for you.
I hope this helps, because this is honestly all that I know how to do for this problem.TommyCD1 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 6:16 pm There's a fairly nice checklist of things that I would recommend trying to use to allow the game running, and of the ones I know how to do I recommend trying them in the order given, one at a time.If none of these work, you can try to use different combinations and see if that solves anything.
- Try deleting the settings.cfg file inside the game's main directory.
- Try to run the game in compatibility mode. Windows XP (Service Pack 2) is a good one to start one, but any choice should help.
- Try to rename/remove the dbghelp.dll file located in the game's \..\library\dbg\ folder. (The log seems to indicate this was already attempted?)
- Try running the game using dgVoodoo2. I detail how to install and use this program in this post.
If you still are having troubles, then some more drastic measures I would attempt would be:
- Forcing the game to run as administrator / in 640x480.
- Manually set your resolution to 640x480 before launching the game.
- Install DirectX 8 from the game's install disc. If you do not have this, you can easilly find an ISO of one here on the forum.
- If all else fails, you can visit the vendor's site of your graphics card, and try to downgrade your graphics drivers. This should only be used as a last resort, and only if you are SURE your exact machine was able to run this game in the past.
I may not make the best maps, or be the best player, but I put a lot of time, effort, and care into my stuff. That counts for something, right? No.
