Black bug, outside only

JG52Krupi · 11-28-10, 08:24 AM

Hey Guys,

I decided to try SH5 again and got some mods installed them launched the game put all the settings on max loaded a historical mission and... black screen when i go to the tower....

Is there anyway around this bug, ive removed all the mods, changed the graphic settings but with no success...

Please could you help me with this problem.

P.S. oddly when i hit the escape button the outside view fades into vision lol

what kind of video card? Have you updated to latest drivers?

JG52Krupi · 12-03-10, 10:29 AM

I have the 5970 and yes the drivers are up to date

Posting what mods your using and in what order will be helpful. Black skies usually mean a conflict somewhere.

JG52Krupi · 12-03-10, 11:12 AM

I have removed all mods using JSGME, so there should be no conflict

I will try to download it again (steam)

Same problem here, an HD 5970 and drivers 10.10 and everything is black. It has worked fine before but I haven't playes SH5 for some time and evidently some ATI upgrade has broken SH5.

I will try the new 10.11 and see what happens.

(All black with or without mods.)

I am using 10.11 asus 5870 with no problems .

Dragnet · 12-04-10, 05:35 PM

Yep, I just updated to 10.11 and now it works fine. Evidently a bug with the 10.10 drivers.

And now it's "flickering black" one day later

Arghh!

THE_MASK · 12-05-10, 03:01 PM

Are you sure its not a dodgy card . Try downclocking it in catalyst ati overdrive . Say 5830 specs and see if you have any more problems . I think 5970 is at 2 x 5850 specs .

Did you reinstalled your old drivers... COMPLETELY? This is very hard way. You need some small soft to do that. And than you need to delete some files by hand.
You must have clean system, registry any track and history of any older components. For my XP it`s took about hour...

Dragnet · 12-06-10, 02:32 PM

No, I'll just park the boat for now and wait for new drivers and see what happens then. I don't want to disturb my other games that are, ahem, a bit less finicky

Needed to bump this as a friend tried to play multiplayer with me and had this issue.
A reinstall didnt help and the issue was apparent in historical missions as well.

He has ATI cards and ran the game fine when originally purchased.

Left the game on the shelf for a month, returned to it to encounter this bug.

ATI driver issue is probable cause, but which driver and is an update or roll back required ?

ATI guys that are not encountering this problem let me know which driver u have installed please.

I also had this problem on my 5970 and turning on catylist ai solved my problem. I also turned down mip map to second highest setting.
