Hayatori Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) I was playing earlier today and it worked just fine for about an hour, afterwards the screen went black and I couldn't see anything. Here is what I tried so far: Adjusting the settings Reinstalling the full download multiple times Restarting Computer Making a new character None of these worked for me. I don't know what to do. Here are my computer specs if it helps OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M Ram: 4GB Processor: Intel Core i5 CPU 2.53GHz Edited October 18, 2012 by Hayatori
Genesis Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 Hayatori: It looks like something is up with the configuration and the cord. Can you make sure the card is selected in setup.exe? Can you add one of my contacts? I can guide you through this over IM. =]
Bishop Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) Just to make sure PM Genesis your contact info as well. MSN at times needs invites from both sides. Also first thing you should check is your setup.exe. Check the resolution box and make sure the resolution is not bigger than your actual screen resolution. That's the most frequent cause of the misplaced screen. Edited October 18, 2012 by Bishop

Hayatori Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Posted October 19, 2012 I notice that it only does this when the game switches to "night" mode. It goes completely black to where I can't see a thing. During the day it seems to work fine. I would like to be able to play this when it's night time at my house because that's usually when I get off work. Is there anyway I can fix this?

Try typing /lightmap . If it doesn't work, try downloading the mouse freedom, it also helps you in a certain way. Click Me I'm not sure how to fix it if both of em didn't work ><; Well, goodluck! :)
Bishop Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 I already gave you the most common cause and the most common solution. Perhaps try them ?
Hayatori Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Posted October 21, 2012 I already gave you the most common cause and the most common solution. Perhaps try them ? I tried those before you mentioned them. That didn't work however, it went back to normal yesterday and still working. I don't know what I did that made it stop but it works just fine now. I'll let you guys know when and if it happens again.
Hayatori Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Posted October 21, 2012 Nevermind, it went black on me again just a few minutes before I posted this current message. I didn't do anything different though.
Bishop Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 Try updating your direct X and graphic card drivers. Also is it only your RO client that gets effected by this or are there more things happening to your PC at the same time ? Do you have this with other games as well ?
Hayatori Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) It's only the RO client. What's weird is that it doesn't do it all the time but about 70 to 80% of the time. I'll try to update drivers and see what that does. I also have Directx 11. Edited October 22, 2012 by Hayatori
Hayatori Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Posted October 23, 2012 Update: I went to Prontera and the screen is still black unless I go inside the weapon shop. The weapon shop, I can everything just fine but when I leave the shop, the screen is black again.
Bishop Posted October 23, 2012 Report Posted October 23, 2012 Open your setup.exe and change the option called "use lightmap" see if that changes anything.
Hayatori Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Nope, screen still black when I leave the shop. It doesn't matter if I have lightmap on or not. Edited October 23, 2012 by Hayatori
Hayatori Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Posted October 23, 2012 I did about everything I could possibly think to do in setup. Nothing is working. My drivers for my video card is up to date The screen is still black when I play it.
Bishop Posted October 24, 2012 Report Posted October 24, 2012 If you're running the client in administrator mode, then try running it normally. Or if you're currently running it normally, try running it in administrator mode.

Bishop Posted October 24, 2012 Report Posted October 24, 2012 This is gonna sound weird but try it anyway as I've only seen this problem once before. 1: log in if the map is black close your client. 2: open setup.exe set your client to fullscreen. Open your client. Log in. 3: it will probably still be black. Log out again. 4:change the settings back to none full screen and log in. This might bring your client back to none-blackness however it's only a temp. solution. Also this might sound silly but, make sure you're not zoomed out too far and dont try to change the camera angle with shift and right click.
