Sometimes running the game gives only blank screen

Postby lemonade » Wed Dec 22, 2004 11:47 am

Sometimes randomly when running the game everything else seems to be working well except screen doesn't include any graphics. Just a blank screen.

Here's screenshot (although it's just black :)

What graphics card and drivers are you using? There seems to be a similar problem with other games, so it's probably graphics drivers related.

I'm using ATI Radeon 9200 with ATI's own binary drivers.

It have only happened once so there's no proof it wasn't caused by ATI's drivers. But after I killed game and started it again. Everything was normal again. Hope I'll get this bug again some day. :)
