The famous black screen.

[AbdelioR]

Hi, I have a friend that have just installed w:a on her machine, but it didn't start, only shows a black screen without any sound.

She has patched and updated it but w:a don't works. She tryed with patch + update and without patch + update, but both ways shows black screen.

She has directx 9.c installed, and she changed the resollution but... didn't work.

¿What can she try now?

Reinstall don't works.

What OS?
What graphic card?

Thanks.

I helped solving a very similar problem yesterday by simply disabling introduction screens.

Try adding a /nointro to the command line in WA shortcut properties (after "...\WA.exe" /nointro)

OS xp,
Graphic card... dunno for now.

The nointro command didn't work.

The game starts well, but the black screen comes when she try to enter a new game or missions game...

Is the game legit, or at least, burned off a legit copy?

Looks like a problem with that 8800 graphic card ...

[Muzer]

Yep, but we can't tell for sure until he posts his full specs

[AbdelioR]

The game is the ISO that I have and works well.

I don't know her graphic card. I'll talk with her to ask about the hardware she have and I return to post here.

PD: She have worms2 installed and it works well.

Locked!!!!

Um... yakuza, last time I checked:
1) You are not a mod
2) You cannot lock threads
3) This thread isn't locked :p

I only posted that because I knew that if I did there was a smaller chance of it being locked.
