Blackscreen (German)

[TheSlipi]

Hi,

wenn ich SC versuche zu starten läuft das "intro" und wenn es dann fertig ist bekomme ich einen Blackscreen und höre nur noch die Hauptmenü Musik. Kann mir wer helfen?

May be something to do with your graphics settings, or a windows 10 compatibility issue. Try changing them here:

Fix for Compatibility Issue:
1. To fix the compatibility problem, just find where your "steamapps" directory is on your pc, then click common\Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction\src\system

2. Right click on "conviction_game.exe" go to the "compatibility" tab and select "Run this program in compatibility mode for windows 7"

Fix for "black screen for 2 seconds when starting up, then quits to desktop":
1: Make sure to go to the directory provided in step 2 (below this one). IT IS IN YOUR "PROGRAMDATA" FOLDER in C:\ WHICH MIGHT BE HIDDEN. To view hidden files, go to the top tabs of "explorer" and click the "view" tab. In there you can find an option to "view hidden items"

2: Directory is -> C:\ProgramData\Ubisoft\Conviction The file should be named "ConvictionUserPC.ini"

3: Right click the file, Open it in notepad and scroll down to the area which mentions:
[UserVideoOptions.Your_USER.ACCOUNT_Name]
VisualQuality=2
StartupFullscreen=True
FullscreenViewportX=
FullscreenViewportY=
MaxRefreshRate=60
WindowedViewportX=
WindowedViewportY=
UseVSync=False
UseHDR=True
MonitorAspect=-1.000000......

4:
Change your resolution in the section below to the appropriate resolution your computer is using:
FullscreenViewportX=
FullscreenViewportY=

5: If it still doesn't work, make sure to CHECK YOUR MONITOR'S REFRESH RATE. THE GAME WILL NOT START UNLESS THE GAME'S REFRESH RATE MATCHES YOUR MONITOR'S
MaxRefreshRate=

Can you give me a list of your computer's specs? (Ram, Processor, Graphics card)? That may give me more information about why you're having the error

[TheSlipi]

GTX 970
i7 6700k
16GB RAM

What operating system?

[TheSlipi]

windows 7

Hmmm i still think it's a resolution or refresh rate issue. I've checked and lots of people are able to play on windows 7 and play with a gtx 970 with no problems at all, since WIndows 7 is one of the original operating systems to support conviction...

I think the reason why you can see the opening credits with the logos is because that is locked to 30fps. But after that, the menu fps depends on your monitor and graphics card. That's why the menu is black at the moment....

Also, try running the game in "windowed mode" and let's see what happens.
