Game wont load.

Postby piffboy » Thu Mar 12, 2015 2:30 pm

Ok so my friend is trying to start the game using almost every single client for the game. But when he tries to load any of them it just sits at a black screen for him.
Someone please help.

You should get him to post. Troubleshooting with a 3rd person who doesn't have enough information is almost impossible. We don't even know what client he is using.

Make sure video drivers are up-to-date, too. It could be hanging on loading OpenGL libraries and not crashing.

to note, what Dallene is referring to is uninstalling Java, using a clean-up tool to make sure traces are wiped out, and then reinstalling. It's been known to clear up a few issues with Java games in the past.

these are just diagnostic steps. We can't be sure if any of it will work with the information given.
