I was going to play and all of the sudden I start receiving black screens for some reason. I tried forcing window mode as it seems to have helped some or forcing off AA and AF (even though I hadn't touched these prior to this, I always use AF but no AA for this game).

Anyone fixed this any other way? I'm have been checking other games and they work as they should so it something particular with Inquisitor.

The only reason I know of is the swapping of weapons repeatedly (by pressing W). Do you do that?

No, I'm a thief so I only use bow + arrows. I've done it once or twice before but I didn't do it last time I played so I fail to see how that would impact this time. This is the first time I received a black screen from this game. I think it crashed once or twice in the beginning but not anymore until now.

I just rebooted and the issue is still there. I'm going to try do a reinstall.

edit: I reinstalled and now it works. That was very weird, like I was missing a file or something and I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary otherwise.

Ahhhh, I think I'll go nuts.

Now the game works but it won't accept my old saves for some reason like they were corrupted. I have a few spares a while back so I'm going to try all but I bet I'm screwed.. :(

edit: I fixed it! My god, that was lucky. Apparently in TEMP folder there's an Inquisitor folder full of files that I think are maps or cache that the game uses. I started saving these two days ago when I noticed it as I thought then the game won't need to load them up. I threw the ones I had and I seem to be able to load my previous games now. What a stupid structure to require those and to leave them in the TEMP folder as well..

Hey, Excolion, could you check your TEMP folder for this one: Inquisitor_CurrentGame

This is the folder I'm talking about and apparently I need more of those damn cache as the one I have only allowed me to start once but now it won't work..

I bet it's empty as it seems to empty itself when I start now...

Hey Nirth, I'm sad that your savegames & game got corrupted.

I checked the installation folder, but no trace of a folder named TEMP. There are more than 20 TEMP folders in my computer when I searched :o

I also searched my hard disk partitions for a file named inquisitor_currentgame, but it couldn't find it either :S

Where exactly should they be? The installation directory? My Documents? Can you write here the file path so that I can look around similar folders?

EDIT: Ah, as I just saw from the other thread that you solved the problem. Now I'm happy :)

Default location should be C:\TEMP\Inquisitor_CurrentGame but I've changed my TEMP folder to another location.

The files are named level_?.sta where ? is a shorting for a specific area like hillbrandt or farm.
