Black screen after intro movie?

Hi IDSW
Check this out as you may have had a corrupted installation.

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?

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*

What OS do you have Sintrix, and where is SH4 installed (5 too, for that matter).

Sintrix!

Apparently on my end it was an issue with needing to reinstall my video card drivers of all things.. I guess I've heard of weirder things! SH4 and 5 now work though. So bizarre.
I'm running Windows 10 though and both game folders are in my Steam folder. Something like D:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Silent Hunter 5, I believe off the top of my head.
