White Screen:Reinstalling doesn't work/patched

Postby gufu » Tue May 08, 2007 3:40 am

I used audacity to load songs and them save them as .ogg with the names of originals(replacing the originals). Hovewhere - when I start the game - the screen turns white. What happend an how to fix that?

Also:Reinstalling does not help... the screen is STILL white!
I renamed "mods" to just "mod" - no changes...


Any ideas?

Is there a directory called 'data' in the same directory as Defcon? If so, try removing/renaming the directory and see what happens :)

I'd first update to 1.42: http://www.everybody-dies.com/downloads/patch.html

Secondly, are you trying the demo? I note a few authkey failures. Are you able to reach the metaserver?
