Thiev: Some general troubleshooting:
- on Vista/Win7 make sure you installed and run the game as administrator
- Check if you have the latest
DirectX 9 installed
for other things, I'll need some more detailed info about your PC, especially OS, video card and drivers.
Thanks! I still am having some issues although the admin thing helped. I'm running Direct X 11, and it still comes up black screen, then if I hit escape to go into options (I don't actually have to change anything) then choose the restart game option, it comes up with the endless water.
So, I'm thinking DX11 isn't going to cut it, though I have no idea why it would be less functional. So here's my two-part question: Will installing DX9 mess up my DX11? And secondly, I've downloaded the file, but then it asks me where to install it and I have absolutely no idea. Help?
Thank you!! :)
Edited to attach all the info from my dxdiag screens. And one of the DX9 setup screen that I was wondering about. Thanks again!
