Black screen after intro movie?
Just picked up Silent Hunter 4 from Steam. Monitor goes black after the intro movie. I can hear the game music. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Much appreciated. IDSW

Did you let the DirectX9c with the game install? It will not overwrite anything (Windows won't let it), but it will "add" a couple of missing files that the game needs to function correctly...

Hi IDSW
Check out also that your screen resolution matches the in game graphics option. Your GPU settings also need to be checked out as well. Post #239 Changing The Nvidia GPU Settings Post #240 Changing AMD Radeon GPU Settings Later AMD GPU's will be different but the principle objective is the same. If none of these actions work, have you recently had a Windows 10 update? Peter

Were you able to resolve the issue? I'm having the same trouble as well and nothing seems to be working. I just reinstalled DX9.0 from the resource in the game's folder and the one linked in a post here. Also changed the options in my control panel.
My SH5 game does the same thing now too after it crashed earlier today which prompted me to try SH4. I was playing a campaign and it crashed and won't display anything after the intro movies for some reason. It opens up, plays the intro movie and then black screen with music. A bit frustrating.. I kinda sorta hate Ubisoft right now. This is after my previous campaign would not update when sinking ships off the British coast / spending hours sinking the capital ships by Scapa Flow.. *pulls hair out* |
