Black screen of death

Postby SuitedAces » 26 May 2019, 03:09

When I try to join a FAF game or create a new game, I only get a black screen with a changed cursor. I don't get to the lobby at all. Pressing Alt-F4 prompts me to quit the game as if it was a normal SupCom game. Starting a game through Steam works no problem.

I uninstalled both SupCom FA and FAF downlords client and reinstalled them anew. Doesn't help. Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Right, the logs, sorry. Please see attached. This is after update to version 0.10.6-beta. Let me know if something is still missing.

did the crash occur when trying to host a coop game?
if yes -> does it also happen in regular custom games?

No, this happens when I either try to join or create a regular custom game. I haven't tried coops.

I also noticed that whenever I try to view a replay, it kinda works, as in it loads without black screen issue, but all replays are now desyncing immediately from the start and I see a bunch of nonsense action. May or may not be related. On Seton's the reclaim in the middle of the map in these replays are presented as live civilian units, rather than reclaim bits.

Just in case, Ice-adapter.log is attached. Can't find replay.log from a recent date unfortunately.

Yep, after deleting most mods and reinstalling the client, seems to be working ok now. Thanks!
