Sorry I posted this on the Summoner board but I thought I might get mmore traffic here.

I've just started replaying Summoner, a game I had nearly completed 10 years ago but never quite got round to finishing.
Everything was working fine until my first encounter on the map. The game shows the 'charging' screen as it does when you go from one area of the game to another but I then get a black screen with stormy sounds and then nothing.
If I try to move the characters or use any of the regular game controls I can't hear anything but can't get out of the screen either. I ended up having to log out of my session and start again.

I presume it is some kind of graphics issue but the intro of the game (cutscene) worked fine as did the animated voice-overs I encountered before (I've managed to get to Lenele and Iona- the first encounter only occurred on my way back to Lenele after a few hours of play).

Any suggestions?

Did I miss something?
have you tried playing it in windowed mode to see if the issue is there as well?

I'd bet he's referring to the thread title - meaning that your job is to summon problems.

In fact, I agree and think you should go to the forum settings and set that as your forum title, replacing the current "New User".

(Also, sorry for not having a damned clue about your actual question).

Doh just realised....

Ironically it could also work as my life motto. Not by choice :)

Correct, I just thought it was funny.
