I downloaded Darwinia and Multiwinia off of steam. I can use Darwinia just fine, but if i load Multiwinia my screen goes black and says sync over range. I can hear the music but it won't show. I have even ALT TAB out of it and my screen stays black, so i have to restart my computer just to get it working again. Can any one help.
I have a dual core processor and ATI 9800XT.
CANNOT EVEN START GAME

Sync over range means that the game was trying a mode that the monitor can't do. In the start menu, click the "Open Multiwinia Profile" option. Inside there should be a file called preferences.txt
Inside that file, there's a line that might look like this:
ScreenRefresh = 60
Make sure that it's 60. If it is, and the game doesn't work, try three things:
Try those and tell me what works

Make sure that it's 60. If it is, and the game doesn't work, try three things:
- Change ScreenHeight, ScreenWidth and ScreenRefresh to known working values (your desktop resolution and refresh rate is a good start).
- Change ScreenRefresh until you get a working game (I suggest 72 and 75. You can try 80, but don't go over that)
- Run in windowed mode (set ScreenWindowed to 1, and the width/height options to something like 800x600)
Try those and tell me what works
