Black screen except icon

[-Eddie-]

Hi,

I recently installed CMSF (Paradox) and Marines module (Battlefront) and licensed it today. Now, my problem is when I boot the game it skips the intro scene and just goes to a blank screen with the USMC logo (LAV-25, square bottom left).

I am running Vista 64-bit Home Premium and have tried running the game in compatability mode for XP SP2/3, as administrator and launching in minimised, maximised and windowed.

I also run the CMSF: Brits demo fine, no problems at all. Intro comes up (in maximised) and loads all fine.

Add to that I run the game on another machine (and have done for some time) which is 32-bit Vista, running the base game, module and demo.

Cheers, Eddie.

can you tell us what went wrong? i have the same problem, i installed the game into my CMSF game folder, no idea what went wrong.

[Pandur]

either me or the installer is an idiot

i told the game to install to ; H:\Games\Combat Mission Shock Force

it installed itself into; H:\Games\Combat Mission Shock Force\Combat Mission Shock Force

that should be a easy fix for me...i go figure it out

[Pandur]

ok fixed, if anyone cant figure out how to do it, i post what i did wrong and how i fixed it.

i have the game running, showing all 3 icons, and the 1.20 version number. so i guess all is set.
