Black screen

[Sippeangelo]

Hello!
The reson that i post here is that this place is more active then the Dark Messiah of Might and magic Bug reporting.
This is my problem: I start the game, everything is fine. All videos and everything. Then i click "New game" and it loads fine. The game starts but everything is black, but i can se my mana bar, health and inventory etc.

I run:
Windows XP Home edition
256 MB DDR ATI Radeon 9600/AGP8x
DirectX 9.0

Anyone got the same problem, and have anyone solve it?
I beg you all help meee! http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/bigtears.gif

I'm relly sorry you guys had to wait.
The problem is solved!

If you have the ATI Radeon 9600 or any other ATI Radeon that dosen't work do the following (I'm from Sweden so my windows interface is a bit diffrent but i hope it will do):

1. Press Start > Control Panel
2. Doubleclick System
3. Go to "Hardware"
4. I'm not relly sure what this is in english so i'll give you a link to a screenshot.

5. Find your ATI Radeon in the list.
6. Right click and press "Update software..." and follow the steps to make shure it gets installed.

And it's done! Restart your computer, start the game and you should see a animated char beside the New game and Load game buttons.

I hope this will work for you because it worked for me twice! http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/typing.gif
Enjoy playing because this is a relly good game!

Thats fine and all, but the offical way to update your drivers is to navigate to ati.com and download their driverpack.

Im pretty sure your method just installed some WHQL (old but certified) driver.

Yeah something like that http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
I tried ati.com but i did'nt find any way to navigate the site, and i could not find any drivers for my card.
