Black screen? - Gravedig4 - 01-03-2011

So i got the game Via Steam and I got through everything fine, no errors in the download, and after I start the new game it loads and the subtitles from the opening scene pop up but the screen is just a giant blur or something and after the scene the cross hairs come up and everything else is black. I tried to walk around a bit and the hand popped up to grab something and yet the screen stays black. I hope there is a fix to thing I really wanted to get scared....

wow, talk about darkness hunting daniel Big Grin
he's chronically blind

on a serious note, could you post your system specs?
as well as the hpl.log
what graphics card/OS type

you can find it out by opening run and typing in "DxDiag"

I don't know much about computers so I didn't know what exactly you were looking for in the system specs....

I found the reason, It's the dumb integrated card thing. Does anyone know when they will make it playable with integrated cards?

It's most likely an issue with the Intel OpenGL drivers that needs solving.
