Update, I have no idea what I did, but I restarted my machine (again) and it seems to be working...   

@MODS - Lock and/or Delete thread :)

Hello Everyone,

Was really enjoying this game yesterday when I downloaded it, ran into no problems at all and was quite happy playing though the training mission and getting used it, however gone to load it up today and I'm getting an immediate grey screen which just stays there until I click a few times to which a windows error message saying TheDarkMod is not responding is shown.  I'm running 64bit windows 10 and both TheDarkMod and TheDarkModx64 produce the same issues.

Whats got me puzzled is it was working fine yet today I've got the grey screen.

What I've done so far:

  • Deleted the darkmod.ini config file and run.
  • Renamed the tdm_gui01.pk4 and tried to launch, also ran the tdm_update exe to get the original pk4 file back, still grey screen
  • Uninstalled and reinstalled from thedarkmod.com
  • My Nvidia Drivers had an update, but given it was working and now not should'nt be an issue, however even now up-to-date still shows the same thing.
  • Changed the debug settings in darkmod.ini to equal 1.  Same thing, and further more I don't get a Darkmod.log generated.

 

I tried using Freyk's installer but it halted asking for Visual C++ Redistributables - I have 2010, 2012 and 2015-19 already, is there a confirmed needed one ?

 

Many thanks

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
