Dracula 2 Report post Posted July 2 Hello everyone, I was very happy when i saw there's a new version of tdm so I installed it right away. But now I got a big problem with that version. It isn't working. All you can see when you start the game is blackscreen and you hear the titel music. The older versions were working fine. Does anyone of you have an idea what the problem could be and how I can solve it? System: Win 10 Pro 64 bit , Processor: Intel Core i7, Graphics: ATI Radon HD 4800 Series (and yeah I know my graphic card is old maybe that's the problem) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freyk 461 Report post Posted July 2 (edited) Yes, try to update your video drivers. And if there is a darkmod.log in your darkmod folder, we would like to see it. Open the file with notepad and copy its content in this topic. in the following topics, you can find some other pointers: https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/search/&q=black screen&quick=1&type=forums_topic&nodes=58 Edited July 2 by freyk Quote Info: My portfolio and darkmod graphical installer Amnesty for Bikerdude!

Dragofer 1237 Report post Posted July 2 Also, for some reason it often helps to delete darkmod.cfg after an update, so that you get a new one when you next start TDM. Worth keeping a backup of it in case that doesn't fix the black screen. 1 Quote FM: One Step Too Far | FM: Down by the Riverside | FM: Perilous Refuge | Dragofer's Stuff | Dragofer's Scripting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter_spy 1440 Report post Posted July 2 In general, if you update your TDM version, delete everything but .pk4 files and fms folder. This way your download should be fairly small and you'll make sure there are no broken dependencies in your setup. 1 Quote Builder Compound Asset Pack – models and textures for TDM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dracula 2 Report post Posted July 2 (edited) thx for your fast answers. I've tried them and also looked through the other blackscreen problems in the forum. The drivers should have the latest update now, I also deleted the darkmod.cfg and the rest. But the result is still the same. Luckily I still have the backup of version 2.07 And that's what's written in the Darkmod.log: [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 374):INI (INIT) FR: 0] LogFile created at 2020.07.02 14:22:03 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 377):INI (INIT) FR: 0] Executable last cleaned and rebuilt on Jun 17 2020 12:14:45 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 380):INI (INIT) FR: 0] The Dark Mod 2.08/32, code revision 8771 (1435:8771) [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 426):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogBegin: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 426):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogEnd: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 426):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogInfo: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 426):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogDebug: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 426):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogWarning: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 426):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogError: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 436):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogClass_FRAME: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 436):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogClass_SYSTEM: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 436):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogClass_MISC: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 436):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogClass_FROBBING: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 436):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogClass_AI: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 436):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogClass_SOUND: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 436):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogClass_FUNCTION: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 436):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogClass_ENTITY: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 436):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogClass_INVENTORY: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 436):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogClass_LIGHT: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 436):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogClass_WEAPON: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 436):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogClass_MATH: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 436):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogClass_MOVEMENT: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 436):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogClass_STIM_RESPONSE: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 436):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogClass_OBJECTIVES: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 436):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogClass_DIFFICULTY: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 436):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogClass_CONVERSATION: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 436):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogClass_MAINMENU: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 436):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogClass_LOCKPICK: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 436):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogClass_AAS: 0 [g:\thedarkmod\darkmod_src\game\darkmodglobals.cpp ( 436):FRC (FORCE) FR: 0] LogClass_STATE: 0 Edited July 2 by Dracula 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freyk 461 Report post Posted July 2 (edited) Thanks for the log, but it needs more content. You can change also your game screenresolution to a lower resolution. Outside tdm by changeing some values in the config-files, using notepad. Change video-game screenresolution: make a copy of files darkmod.cfg and darkmod.ini (as backup) open darkmod.cfg with notepad. Search for lines "seta r_customHeight" and "seta r_customWidth" change the values in these lines, to a lower screenresolution, for example seta r_customHeight "600" seta r_customWidth "800" You can also change to the video-mode from fullscreen to windowed. seta r_fullscreen "1" change the 1 to 0 Save the file. To add more logcontent to logfiles. make a copy of files darkmod.cfg and darkmod.ini (as backup) remove the darkmod.log file. open thedarkmod.cfg with notepad go to line: seta logFile "0" change the value 0 to 1 and save the file. open darkmod.ini with notepad go to lines: LogError=0 LogBegin=0 change the 0 to 1. and save the file. Start tdm. (And you switch screens with keycombo alt-tab.) close tdm. check the content in darkmod.log and your qconsole.log. They can be found in: yourdarkmodfolder\darkmod.log yourdarkmodfolder\fms\onofyourmissions\qconsole.log post the content of qconsole in this topic. We need the content of qconsole.log.

Dracula 2 Report post Posted July 3 (edited) I've deleted tdm_base01.pk4 and run the update again. the problem still appers, only difference is, that the blackscreen is coming a later. for the first 2 or 3 seconds you can see a grey screen now. the driver version is 8.970.100.9001 (see screenshot) I tried to update it but it always says it's the newest one. I really think the only way to solve that problem is to buy a better grapic card. Edited July 3 by Dracula Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabalistic 655 Report post Posted July 3 According to the gpuinfo database, the HD4800 should support OpenGL 3.3, so it should be able to run TDM 2.08 and the upcoming 2.09, at least. Chances are this is either a driver bug, or we're doing something wrong on the coding side. It would be great to find out the cause, and then perhaps we can fix or work around it. Unfortunately, I don't have any immediate ideas right now, will have to think about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure looks like the latest version Used 4000 generation cards cost starting at $15 in my area but I'm not sure anyone would be willing to sponsor buying one for testing. I remember owning a 4850 around 2010 (ol' good days). It cost around $80 back then and it was a solid, respectable mid-range GPU. What can you buy for $80 now? Still, it was the only GPU I ever owned that had serious driver issues (short of Intel 3000 of course, but I never used it for gaming). Remember Rage? Every now and then AMD likes to drop the ball with OpenGL support. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dracula 2 Report post Posted July 3 anyway thanks to all of you for your help. it was just a try to let the new version somehow work, but sadly it's not. hope it'll work with an other card. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, this shader is only needed by an experimental feature, and even if it were enabled (which it is not if the Darkmod.cfg file was deleted), it would only affect actual ingame rendering, not the menu. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stgatilov 992 Report post Posted July 3 We can try some more complicated ways to debug the problem, but they would need more patience from @Dracula. For simple checks, could you please set in your darkmod.cfg: r_glDebugContext 1 r_glDebugOutput 2 logFile 1 (in case you have not already) Then post contents of qconsole.log here. Please put large text files into spoiler environment (including your earlier post). That's the icon looking like eye in post editor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stgatilov 992 Report post Posted July 3 Another try is: r_glCoreProfile 0 r_uniformTransforms 0 r_useFenceSync 0 But please make sure to revert these settings after you try (deleting the whole darkmod.cfg is the most reliable way to reset it to defaults).
