Guest Beans Posted June 5, 2000 Share Posted June 5, 2000 I tried both the beta and gold versions of the Combat Mission Demo on my computer, and neither version would run. I have an ASUS P5a motherboard running an AMD K6-3 450. The video card is a Diamond Monster Fusion 16MB. The computer is running Windows 98 with DirectX 7.0a, and I am using the latest 3DFX reference drivers for the video card (1.04 I think). The problem that I have encountered is that, when run, a blank black screen appears and nothing else. The music plays, but all I see is a blank screen. Clicking the mouse does nothing. If I hit escape, the splash screen will appear as the game minimizes. When I return to the game, the splash screen is still there, but nothing else happens until I hit escape and minimize again. I can progress through the game in this manner, escape-minimize and return, although eventually the game does lock up. Any suggestions as to what is wrong?

Freyland Posted June 5, 2000 Share Posted June 5, 2000 Hi Beans, nice to have you aboard! Only three good suggestions: 1)old standbye...make sure you have latest video drivers, directx 7.0a 2)Unzip the CM gold demo with the function, "keep subdirectories intact". This was referenced on an earlier complaint about black screens 3)email "Black Sabot". You can find him on the board. When I did a search for you about black screens, he had that problem more than anyone else. However, I am playing him via PBEM right as we speak, so he must have figured it out. Good luck Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
