Grey Screen lockup on launch, on Windows 10

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
