Sound works Black Screen HELP PLZ
Im having a reoccuring issue where whenever I try to go from the main menu back to "drive" or my truck my screen freezes in the transistion and stays there, mouse icon and all. However to make matters more bizzare, my game audio and the game itself seems work work absolutly fine. I can rev my engine put on my blinkers, even hear myself drive around (and then crash into things lol). This is really my last resort as I had just taken my mods out and the problem seemed to be fixed and the last couple hours of gaming Ive had no issues but now it is happening again and keeps persisting. .has anyone had this before?? So far it seems not. .thank you to any and all help/advice I truly appreciate it!

Im sorry for my ignorance (i dont know much about computers) what is this and how would i go about doing this? will it reset my game etc? thanks for the response!
search for your graphis drivers online

It shouldn't reset your game. The best place to look for graphics drivers is the website of the company that made your graphics card design. So if the card is an nvidia GPU, check on nvidia's website.
and make sure u get the correct drivers
-download your latest grafics driver, best directly from your cards manufacturer. (amd or nvidia)
-let your search tool of your windows look for "device manager", or if you know how to find it, do so.
-in the device manager, look for your grafics card
-rightclick it, click "uninstall". let it do the job, do all it wants :)
-when done, install the new driver. just restarting the computer after the uninstall should be enough, it should look for the latest driver on your hard drive automatically... if not, install it from the downloaded file

-don´t just copy it over the already installed one, it might not solve your problem that way.

-if you had previously downloaded a driver already, make sure you delete that before restarting, so windows doesn´t "accidently" install the previous one again.

Seems like a issue that I'm currently having, I recorded it for an example.

Again, mods were used but it doesn't go away with mods or not.

I might look into this sugguestion, maybe not at this current time, likely tomorrow.

Strange is that Euro Truck Simulator 2 never HAS any problems in the past for me, ATS is a complete different story.

Edit: Rewording, Spelling mistakes.

I live in FL and it rain's when the suns out.
Do you have the option before you go in game to run in DX10,open Gl or safe mode? If so try safe mode.

So I followed what you said as best as i could, and first time playing the game it happens, , this time when i choose my load instead of seeing my truck, all I see is a black screen but can hear everything in sync
