benpark Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I just installed 1.1 on my 15" MacBookPro (ATI x1600), and I am getting a black screen after the initial CMSF screen where I select "Battle", "Campaign", etc. If I hover my mouse cursor around where I suspect the buttons are, the screen will flicker and I can see the next screen for brief glimpses. I suspect that the ATI/Apple Bootcamp drivers are at fault here, as my MacPro with a 3870 card was working fine on my CMSF Marines install prior to me leaving for my Christmas dream vacation at my in-laws. The drivers are the 8.430.0.0 version (the latest I could find at ATI for my computer). Any help appreciated so that I can see this fantastic new patch in action. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Windle_Poons Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I had the exact same problem with my Hp notebook (running a ATI x1600) - All the menu screens were black. Once I got into a scenario (by remembering where the buttons were), the performance was great..... I downloaded new video drivers, and this did solve the problem....but completely ruined the in game performance - upto 2 seconds per frame in a small scenario....not good at all! Rolled back to the previous version of drivers and things improved - the menus worked, and the FPS was almost acceptable. Still unsure what was/is wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benpark Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 Thanks for the reply, imported_Windle_Poons. I tried as you suggested and attempted to guess where the buttons were. After a handful of tries, I got into a game and it ran perfectly. It was impossible to see what I was selection however. The problem lies in the scenario selection screen, and the screen after(the rt/turn based selection IIRC). There is a selection of only 2 different drivers for the x1600 card for Bootcamp as it stands now. I tried installing regular drivers ATI drivers, and was unable. Hopefully there will be a tweak from ATI or BFC to get me back in business on the laptop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ataquerojo Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 After reinitiating game again black screen, the only solution is a walk around. initiate blindly any scenario, activate and deactivate in game shadows (alt w) and exit to main menu. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
