So I played on steam client a while recently, but kept getting a complete black screen while in game. At first I thought maybe it was my monitor (as it went completely black and the monitor auto setup would initiate before the game came back).

 

I decided to uninstall steam and see if the problem happened, It did not. I played on non steam client for a week and had zero black screens. Today I installed steam again and launched the client, within 10 minutes I had the black screen again! 

 

Here is log, maybe it is something to do with the "WARNING [GBApp-><init>: 43] No file for graphics config found at: graphicsConfig.ini"

 

Any help appreciated, thanks.

I am having the same issue as you are, seemed to be brought on after the stability patch, as I was playing fine prior to that.

I don't have an error log as you have shown but, it seems to be related to a graphical glitch somehow.

[livingtarget]

What graphics cards are you guys using out of interest? Am I right in thinking you still manage to get inside the game before you see the black screen?

[Mongo]

I have a crappy NVIDEA GeForce 310. Yes I can get inside the game and play, the black screen occurs randomnly.

[Rhaythe]

I am using a GeForce 570

This issue only happens through Steam for me and not the 64 bit client through HC

[Rez]

If you're using Nvidia, you SHOULD have a lot more customization options for graphics. Access the settings for Nvidia and check to make sure there isn't some kind of anti, v, or other graphics-related function that's set to a setting too far away from what the game is meant to handle. Remember that this is a low-graphics game, it can't handle advanced features that you would set for other games. Since you're running it through Steam, it may try to use a function that can't bypass in the Steam version.

[Rhaythe]

Actually it seems to be happening on eithr launch client now... with or without steam, it is completely random and I can't specifically duplicate it.

 

As far as what advanced settings I should alter I am clueless in that department so I would likely do more harm then good.

[Torval]

I get this running through Steam mostly. I run Steam through wine (on Linux) so I figured it was due to that. The game freezes and then the screen goes black if I tab out of the screen. It does happen on the native Linux client too, but not as much since I installed Oracle Java and removed openjdk.

[Xero]

I wouldn't imagine the nVidia control panel breaking anything. If a feature isn't supported it simply won't use it. I'll get LT to keep looking into the matter.

[ZooksterGaming]

Did you turn off and on your computer?
Did you check all cables?

Seeing as it can do this, I figured it might have the chance.

 

In other words, Nvidia can affect each program's graphics settings individually. If he can fix it by changing those, then there's no reason not to try. :/
