Hi, was tempted and just bought COH off of steam, raring to play it as soon as it downloaded i find that it wont launch! The first time i try i get an error about direct x but Im sure i was already up to date. Just to make sure ive run the webupdater for directx again and now the game still wont run. All i get so far is black screen.. . the cursor changes to the COH one but then im back to the desktop again. Any ideas greatly appreciated cuase im dying to kill stuff haha.
I got this from Steam this week also. Runs fine, although I had to enable a few new things on Zonealarm before it would run. Could just be that?
hm ill give the firewallt hing a shot although im not so sure its that tbh, to be more specific about the problem, it launches and i get a black screen 2 seconds of sound, but then it minimises the game. if i restore the window, still no video but then another 2 seconds of sound.. .then minimises again. i could carry on restoring the window i guess but this, i feel will impede my gaming experience haha ----- Edit in any case i checked the firewall and its already an exception with full access rights i think. . ... other ideas : ) ?
ive had this before, i think it didnt like having two monitors running, it seemed to be ok when i disabled one. Tis working fine now tho, i changed drivers and reinstalled it
interesting development - UT3 i just found out also no longer works :S i had installed some dx9 components for supreme commander to run before all this happened, could this have cause some kind of dx9/dx10 conflict? how do i know which game is trying to run in what?
okay so ive done the dx web installer many times now and also tried adding the dx 9.0c components and still no joy. anyone any ideas? or even does anyone know if you can refund games on steam??
hey man , its important , have you found any solution to make Coh OF run? im having the exact same black screen problem , and nothing ive tried seems to work. if u managed to fix it pls lemme know
