Back Screen: Mark of Chaos

[Warhunter]

Hello!

I am having really big problems whit my new game; Warhammer Mark of Chaos. I have patched it and everything. When I start, the screen is all black, and I hear sounds. From the cinematic and main menu. But Everything is just black. Do anyone here have any solution?

okay may i ask what system do you use(windows vista,xp,linux or whatever), what is the requirements for the game what does your computer have.
but it can also be the graphic card that isnt good enough if you have nVidia which every gamer should(lulz kidding but that is the prefered one though) try go to their website and see if yo u can find any updates for your graphic card

I am using Vista. I checked if I could run the game one the site "Can you run it?". I could run it whitout problems.
And, the settings on the result is for recomended. Not minimum requirements.

Well, here's the result

does the game has a little windows vista icon on it??
because if it doesnt that means it doesnt necessary is compatible with vista which sucks that is why im buying xp so i can i play fable ltc..

 

[Warhunter]

Yes.. It has a kind of Shield. Red, Green, Blue and Yellow.

Shield

Perhaps try to run the game as administrator?

 

[Warhunter]

Already did.

 

[Cyper95]

well the one i was talking about is this one

 

[Warhunter]

Noes.. If you look at the could you run blahblah result. you Could see it's for 2000 and XP. But, I am able to play wc3, wh40k, warhammer online and much moore. That's old and made for XP etc.

 

[Cyper95]

yes but this is the sad part about vista some games just isnt compatible like i wanna play fable the lost chapters it sometimes crashes and freeze my computer though my computer is good enough to play it.. since i got vista it does that so its tough luck

 

[Warhunter]

hm.. I am trying to install some updates.. but the Catalyst install manager just crashes under install.

Right click>Properties>Compatibility>Run in Compatibility mode for Windows XP

Thanks, that was a helpful post.

 

[Warhunter]

Already tried to run it in XP compatibility.

 

[Cyper95]

Thanks, that was a helpful post.

i was just saying it might not always work so...
Warhunter the only thing you can do now is probably get Windows XP, wait for update from vista that may fix it or just not play the game at all.

...Down grade from Vista to XP for a single game?




First off, did you pirate the game? I personally don't care, but make sure you have a good copy with proper data files. In some torrents (Particularly "dopeman's" torrents a lot of the files are either corrupt or missing).

Try a different torrent/cd/w/e you got this from. Make sure the CD isn't scratched and reinstall the game.

Also, try playing the game WITHOUT the patches first. If it works without the patch, begin patching the game one patch at a time to pin point which patch might cause this problem for you.

Update your video drivers, and your sound drivers. Alternatively, you might be running the game at a configuration not compatible with your system (Although unlikely, seeing as that you have a pretty powerful machine.) Try changing the settings in the .ini config file in the system root folder, or where ever the user configurations might be saved (You might have to research that yourself.)

Try and consider all of the above, if none of them work, report this problem to the games official forums so that people with more experience might be able to help you. Also check the forums for an "FAQ", you might find your problem under there if its common enough.

oh shut it im gonna report ya to mods for that comment on me and actually it is worth downgrading from vista since vista sucks horrible with gaming were xp is better

 

[Warhunter]

I'm never going to downgrade from Vista. I got Vista free. And I got no XP. And XP isn't in the stores anymoore.

Steel_Stallion@ It's no pirated copy or anything. It's the original game copy. I have tried to start it before I patched it. I can't install my driver updates coz the Catalyst install manager just crashes, as I said before..

The website "Can you run it?" is not always correct, in fact its usually off. (I cannot run Left4dead, despite what that thing says.)

Its most likely your graphics driver, and I'm not familiar with what a "Catalyst Install Manager" is. Try finding an alternative way of installing your drivers (Manually, for example.)

Otherwise, head for the official forums for help.

You can't install them in another way.
