Black Screen

Post by Gelerion »

When i start the game, i sometimes get a black screen and the game is going in the backgroud but its kinda hard to press anything with the screen all black

and when i have created my party, the intro shows and the talking with the elf, and then the video of you arriving in the village...and then the screen turns black again, when im about to play

and this happens everytime,!!!

theres probably a cool game hidden behind the black screen so i'd like some value for my money :P

anyone had this prob?

Where did you move the mouse pointer?

The only time I have seen anything similar to what you desribe is when I let the mouse drift off the edge of the lighted area. The game uses a system where you only get to see what the party can see, & outside that circle it's black.

You'll get an automatic scroll off into that black surrounding area if you do what I did with the pointer. Any chance you are losing track of your pointer?

:confused:

no thats not it cuz when the intro film plays the exact thing happens, black screen!

but i formed a party, and started the game, the screen went black and i restarted the game and loaded the game that was autosaved when i started my adventure, this worked

i dont know this for sure, but chances are big that next time a cut-scene comes up the screen will go black again, or when i travel to a new area...

didnt go away with patch update either..
