screen is black - aidensharplin - 11-23-2010
when i launch the game the main menu was weird
the bottom of the screen is weird, it is all grey and pink and messed up
then when i a new game the screen goes a dark browny cream color. the subtitles still come up and the sound still plays but that is all. when your supposed to stand up at the very start of the game the screen is still brown and the only thing i can see is the cross hair and the hand what appears when it moves over something. the in game menu still comes up.
what do i do. also the black box came u[

RE: screen is black - jens - 11-23-2010
Ah, you have an Intel integrated chip which is not capable of running the game. It seems to be due to the OpenGL drivers supplied by Intel, maybe in the future they will improve them and the game will work.
RE: screen is black - aidensharplin - 11-24-2010
WHAT
SO I CANT RUN THE GAME ?
RE: screen is black - jens - 11-24-2010
At the moment no, minimum requirements are an ATI Radeon X1000 series or a NVIDIA GeForce 6 series graphics card.
