White Screen after Launch

[-VG- Krasnik]

I just installed the game and when i launch it i get the first into video but after that the screen just goes white and i have to task end the game in order to close it. Its just blank white no sound nothing. Anyone got a Solution.

Hi! I got the same problem. The game used to run just fine a couple of months ago, now everytime I start it I get the first mini window with soldiers and stuff and then the full window emerges but it is all white, I can see the ingame cursor though. I had a similar problem with COH2 and I solved it by making the game start in windowed mode...

Still an issue. I purchased the collection in this Summer Sale and the first few times it launched just fine, then it would launch and I just the off-white screen that usually has Eugen's logo appear on it. But no, it's just blank. Had to use TM to quit and restart, and then it was fine. Ended up refunding as it was just too problematic (that, and most of the stuff in the History Pass I wasn't interested in).

Would go back to the game for the Army General element if this issue was fixed, but as the above posts are almost 3 years old I doubt that will happen, unless anyone knows a fix.

there isn't really any info to go on.

Do you have like a special wide monitor? For instance.

How about this.

Go to GeforceNow. Sign up for the free service.

It will let you play games essentially from a streamed gaming computer. They have paid versions which like guarantees a higher quality PC, longer "session" time, etc.

I use them because my gaming rig broke down. They don't have EVERY game, but they do have many including SD2.

you will be at least able to play it an maybe solve the issue.

PS: you get 1 hour per session with the free one, That simply means you need to go out of game, then go back in. As there is a physical limit to how many PC they have (Tens of thousands.) I use the priority ($10 month) and have never been queued, but you can't beat free.

I also play MP games with GFN, and even one as better ping because GFN's servers are closer.

No, 14'' monitor (1920x1080), and no I don't need to play on GeForce's virtual low end PC when I have a high mid-range (refuse to pay Nvidia for their high spec, thanks anyway).

No, this seems to be an issue not all have just some. I have a GeForce GPU but I don't think that has anything to do with it, and it only seemed to happen when I added 4 mods (changing the mod file to allow for 4). Tried it then without the mods and continued. Refunded as it was just plain annoying having to start a game twice to play.

oh, you may have needed to delete the files for SD2 in your documents.
Some mods alter stuff in there and don't properly uninstall if you remove them. So when you reverted things back there where still changes in that folder.

Yeah, probably was the mods. Shame, as they were excellent and improved the game out of sight.

Odd that the effect they caused was a false start (the opening screen but with no logo), quit, re-launch and everything's fine. You'd think the effect would be no launch, period! That's why I wondered if it was something else.
