So yes, Black screening.
I bought the game this weekend, after spending some time playing the trial weekend.
I had black screen issues from the first time I tried to play, but after googling, I was able to over come it, by under-clocking my GPU.
Since then it’s happened once or two, and it’s always the same. The screen goes black and the computer is locked down. can’t do anything, but the sound stays for a bit. After while I’ll have to do a hard reset in order to get the thing working again.
Anyway, tonight the game seem to have caught up with my mischievous attempt at bypassing the black screens with under clocking, and since then I havn’t been able to do anything.
Now it simply black screens as soon as the Character Selection screens loads, or from time to time, I’m lucky enough to load a character and the world, at which point it’ll black screen.
I’ve tried all the miracle cures, and none of them work.
Deleting Local.dat
using -repair
using -image
Bypassing my router
Updated nvidia drivers
restore nvidia 3D settings
reinstalled directx
deleted temp files
The only thing that did work, was under clocking the GPU, but alas, it does not work anymore.
So I’m stomped, what is actually the issue?
I’m adding a game advisor log, in hopes it’ll clear something up.
I was kind of hoping to play the game I just purchased.. yeah? ..
