Returning player getting black screen but hear sound
My problem is that I'm getting a black screen after i get past the Loading Map screen.
I log into the game just fine, I find a server, join a game, then once the loading bar of the map gets to about 15%, my screen turns black. The thing is, I hear all gun shots, I hear "fire in the hole", I hear my own gun shooting, but the screen is just black.
So then I have to Ctl+Alt+Dlt out and end the game that way. Anyone ever experience this and have a solution?
My computer is fairly old, Im running on Windows XP, but I used to be able to play this game over a year ago with minimal lag even though my computer is old. The only thing I thought could be an issue is that since then I got an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 graphics card. I know It's a pretty old garbage card but I thought it was going to make a difference.
Anyway if anyone has a solution I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Im guessing this error is exclusive to Windows XP, i wouldn’t be surprised as its so out-dated. I tried to re-produce this error with my other machines and after 6 hours of testing nothing happened. It took me The first 2 hours for it to happen on XP. Once the message appeared and the screen went black, each and every map I played was exactly like this. Below is a screenshot of what my game looks like when the error occurs, is this what yours looks like too?

You get more than I do. Once I load out of the Map Screen, it turns completely black. I get nothing. I hear everything thats going on through my speakers, but my monitor just turns black.
I haven't played CF in maybe over a year, but I used to play regularly using the same desktop I'm on now. It's just weird to me. Game works perfectly fine up until it loads up the map. I guess it's time to upgrade. -
Creative_S - I know you are an experienced player...so I guess you have tried everything already...
Looks like a problem with the 3D-rendering-engine...loading the textures...
-have you tried to update/downgrade your garphic-card-driver ? - also DirectX ?
-checked/changed the settings for them ?
-lowered/changed the ingame video-settings ? - maybe a problem with high textures or other settings and the graphic card
If I have more ideas I will edit this...

Yup.
I've done everything no hope though. Everything is up to date, at the moment its only happening on Windows XP as far as i know.
Dont worry about it, i have enough patience for a real fix.CRiMKiLLiN wrote: »You get more than I do. Once I load out of the Map Screen, it turns completely black. I get nothing. I hear everything thats going on through my speakers, but my monitor just turns black.

I've noticed if you go into the training camp (tutorial) you get this error alot less often. That and ending "explorer.exe" and running the game from taskmanager. -

Ok - so finally my thoughts weren´t totally misplaced/wrong...
