Black Screen
When I start it the screen goes black and I cant see anything but I can still use my computer perfectly fine but just not for the game, also the game doesnt close unless I get out of it with crtl+alt+del and then close it from the task manager. Is there a way to fix this?

Im assuming yuo're playing on a Windows 10 PC.
Go into the files, right click fairyfencer.exe, choose properties, compatability, and then set it to Windows 8 mode. That SHOULD fix your problem.

XP service pack 2 compatibility mode might help.

didnt even work at all... before it worked but was just a black window that changes the resolution to the games without loading the game itself but this time it didnt even get to that

I have the same problem, game boots to a black screen and keeps tabbing itself out. Anyone had this problem and managed to fix it?

IF it's just tabbing out can you tab back to it? or is it staying in the back ground and you can;t access it at all?

I can tab back in, but I get tabbed out again every time :(

Ok try this then.

Go into "C:/Steam/Steamapps/Common/Fairy Fencer F" find the config file it's called FairyFencer and is 2 KB.

Find these 2 lines and make if needs be edit them to read like the do below.

FullScreen=1
BorderlessWindow=0

Save and try to launch the game.

That should make the game start in full screen mode but if there is no change then swap the 1 and 0 on the 2 settings and see if it will run in borderless windowed mode.

Sound like something is stealing focus from the application, there a lots of reasons why that could be happening firstly close any unneeded programs down. Secondly go to the games Exe (FairyFencer application) in the location above.

Right click the application and go into properties, in the compatibility tab check the box disable desktop compression.

Again there are lots of things this could be so google might be your friend.

Thanks Viking, fiddling around with some settings actually seems to have worked.

Changing to borderless windowed solved the tabbing problem, but the game stayed black for some reason. However, changing LockWindowFramerate to 144 (monitor refresh rate) seems to have fixed that too.

The config file will show up in the file path but you may not have the same file path it depends what drive your steam file in mine on my D: drive used to be in my G: drive it will look like a note pad file.
