pause meny in the main meny

[Nilsax]

when i start Postal 2 the pause menu appears an pauses the main menu and when i click on resume game and all other exept quit game the text disapear and i only see the meny backround.
when i press quit game the monday screen appear and after it has loaded the ordinary menu
shows up and working like normal.
this happends every time after i have reinstall it and played it one time.

i would suggest not pushing the pause button in the main menu
if you do that though, try to push the pause button once again.

Oh, wow. First time I'm seeing this reported on our forums, very strange indeed.

It does seem like you might be missing some files, so verify the game cache first, and we'll go from there. To do that, right click on Postal 2 in your Steam Library, go to 'Properties' -> 'Local Files' -> 'Verify integrity of game cache'.

It should tell you if you are missing some files, and if you are, it will download them for you. After it's done downloading files, launch the game and it should hopefully be working fine now.

doesn't seems to help

Hmm, what OS are you on?

Delete Postal2.ini which is located in steamapps/common/Postal2Complete/System and launch the game.

Oh, jesus. Ok.

Go to steamapps/common/Postal2Complete/System and open a file called Postal2.ini.

Look for these lines of text:

FullscreenViewportX=
FullscreenViewportY=
StartupFullscreen=

and change them so that they look like this:

FullscreenViewportX=1920
FullscreenViewportY=1080
StartupFullscreen=False

Save the changes, and launch Postal 2 now.

the computer only has a resolution of 1366x768.
should i try FullscreenViewportX=1920
FullscreenViewportY=1080 anyway?

[Running With Scissors [S]]

No, in that case, set them to X=1366 and Y=768

[Diamant 3]

i still get the black screen

You can adjust brightness, contrast and gamma in Postal2.ini, so try that:

Brightness=3.500000
Contrast=3.500000
Gamma=3.500000

Let me know if it's any better after the change, or if the screen is still black.

If it is, then try switching to OpenGL, this is not a perfect solution, but I'm curious if that will fix it, here's how to do it:

Edit your local Postal2.ini file with Notepad or a text editor, look for this section:

[Engine.Engine]
RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=Engine.NullRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice

Change it so that there's a semicolon in front of the D3DDrv line, and none in front of the OpenGLDrv line:

[Engine.Engine]
;RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=Engine.NullRenderDevice
RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice
