[Official Solution] Black Screen
Hello,

So guys there seems to be an issue with black screen. If you are Windows 10 it is recommend you try and change your scaling setting to 100% this can be done by right clicking on your desktop and clicking on display settings. A new window will pop and there should be a slider bar that read: Change the size of texts,apps and other items: 125-200% change it to 100%(Recommended)

If you are not running Windows 10 and still have this issue. Send me a private message titled: IMPORTANT BLACK SCREEN STILL HAPPENING! or reply on here on this thread thank you. Also if you will message i will need to be able to get into contact with on any form of communication media so that we can fix this hands on.

There was also certain cases where running the game in a compatibility mode helped to address the issue.

Hope this helps.

Happy New Year!

I FIXED IT!!! I did a trouble shoot of the Cfg. file and found "render interpolation" was "Enabled"
DISABLE IF IT IS!!!!! It WAS the issue i was havving. i changed items in cfg ONE at a time, and found that cganging THAT setting FIXED this issue. PLEASE try this fix! It MAY help. If it helps anyone Let other know if it did.

Black screen here. Somtimes.
When Black screen; antenna hits are visible, HUD is visible, can access menu, and will highlight seats, cargo containers, etc.
Option #2; sky is visible, but ground and anything atached to it, is pixelated and black, smae as above.
Option #3; Combo Option; screen is fine, screen isn't, screen is fine, screen isn't... normal screen, then black screen. normal, then black. Black is like Option #1. Might coincide with interior light blinking. However, with flashlight on, shadows change from a little shadow to deep shadow...

Yes, I have WIndows 10. Updated drivers. Display was already at 100%(RECOMMENDED)

Willing to trade info for help :steamhappy:

What? Where does it asks you for your credit card to confirm your id?

the replacement cfg files from tinyupload wants a credit card to affirm your login to tinyupload

Neither of the links to tinyuplad posted in this thread asks for any input. The download is initiated right when you click on the link at the tinyupload page. You don't need to log in anywhere to download it.

Check your system / browsers for presence of malware.

I believe I have another problem, I looked into the directx log, and it said that it could not find the shaders.

Same issue. I opened the file

and changed the item

<item> <Key xsi:type="xsd:string">WindowMode</Key> <Value xsi:type="xsd:string">1</Value> </item>

to

<item> <Key xsi:type="xsd:string">WindowMode</Key> <Value xsi:type="xsd:string">2</Value> </item>

This should help.

Thanks! This worked for me.
