Black Screen ingame (graphic card updated)

Post by Digz »

MOH2010! first they reset all players stats. thats cool since i just got the game
and got 7 hrs in game.

but now i see people play and i get black screen, i can play this game in singleplayer,
and tier1 mode. but multiplayer is black screen for me, i can see HUD stuff, but not the rest.

He plays for the GC experience.

Does single and multi have different video settings?

does the screen power button goes yellow (indicating it receives no information?)
i think your vid card is the problem.
i'd guess that the single player is more optimized and loads smaller areas then the multi player.
what version of the card do you have? 512MB or 1024MB VRAM?
try lowering the resultion all the way down. try setting all settings to minimum and see if it works.
whats your PSU?

you also said it begun after you updated the graphic card driver, try going over the change log of the driver.
if everything else fails. try going to nvidia website and check if they have a newer beta driver, or roll back to your previous one.

kraker- poorly with small amount of FPS, game lags, and delays.

Ash- not really.

necrobot- no, the single player and tier 1mode, got more reachable terrain than the multi.

cant really find my card ram or psu, tho i recall, taking a decent one.
i cant really roll back to older driver since nothing works with it.
will lower settings and check.

well, i didnt play it so i don't know.
if its exactly the same levels as the multiplayer then maybe there isn't any difference.
but if its not open world, or at least a little more restricted then the multiplayer then its probably less detailed. textures and objects you see is only a little part of what really renders. if its not open world type of game, then the levels are a lot smaller, mostly only what you see is what has to be rendered. if its open world like in multi-player (everything is potentially accessible) then everything gets rendered, and the walls around you simply block your view of the other stuff, but they are also rendered by the GPU. thats part of how wallhacks work (the information is there).
