green screen crash

mlsmith45 · 05-29-12, 08:37 PM

I'm running TMO 2.5 and the game is crashing after displaying a completely green screen. Even if I've saved the game and reload the green screen is still there. I can hear everthing and can even speed the ship up and change screens. I've gone to the map and it's totally black.

I searched the forums to see if anyone else has this problem, but didn't find anything.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Haven't really heard that one, but I can tell you it's not TMO.

What are your PC specs? Sounds like a possible video card or driver issue.
How long do you play before it happens?

Make sure you have DX 9 installed from the disc.

If you're playing for awhile before it happens could be your video card overheating, when mine went bad I got all types of colors, then it would crash....my fan went bad.

I think Armistead might be right about your video card. Is this a laptop? The same thing happens to me from time to time, but only on my laptop. Don't have to be gaming either, it just goes green or black on me sometimes.
