Hi velryba,
post two or three posts above should solve your problem. Black screen then back to desktop instantly is normally a sign of an old video card driver or not running directx8.1 and it can't change to the correct resolution/refresh rate. If you running a geforce card, check what drivers you are running, the 3.0.8.2 ones from nvidia (which came out in early august) fixed my black screen issue. |
The proper way to fix this is to go into c:\program files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942 Multiplayer Demo\Settings and right click on VideoDefault.con. open the file with notepad and you should be presented with the following:
rem * TEMP * renderer.setFullScreen 1 renderer.fieldOfView 1 renderer.globalLodRadius 1 renderer.globalLodRadiusScaleFactor 5 console.showStats 0 renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 0 Now change the bottom line value to 1 Save, run the game and job done :) Hope this helps, Cheers, Nick :) |
ok I went to the videodedefault.con and it seams there is a line missing:
rem * TEMP * renderer.setFullScreen 1 renderer.fieldOfView 1 renderer.globalLodRadius 1 renderer.globalLodRadiusScaleFactor 5 console.showStats 0 now shall i just type the line you have there and save it? cheers |
well couldn't wait for a reply :)
so yes i've saved the line there but still the same yes i have an old vga card (nvidia TNT) but let me see if the new driver will help cao for now |
That old card isn't going to run it anyway.
What you do get on screen will be barely more than about 3 colours and a shadow of a hand. Cheers, Nick. |
i guess its about a time to write to father xmas ;)
thanks anyway |
You lot just playing the demo? Might try to find you, will pick up the full game saturday when it comes out I hope :)
