Title: The game start, but I can only see black squares
Post by: Zyx on September 05, 2013, 01:37:46 AM
I sended a mail too, but seems it's easier to get an answer here :) (sorry in advance for my bad english)

I have an Intel(R) Core i-5 2340M CPU @ 2.40 GHz with 4 GB RAM... but the game only show black squares and agglomerates of pixels. Can you guys help with this? maybe is my video drive? It's a Mobile Intel (R) HD Graphics.

Greetings and thanks in advance :)

Here 2 pics of the problem:

I think you should re-download the game

If re-downloading the game doesn't fix the issue then definitely re-install those video drives. If you don't know how to reinstall video drivers than you can try driver max free version which allows you to download 2 drivers a day.

Redownloaded and reinstalled, still have the same problem. I have checked both video driver devices... The other one is a Radeon (TM) HD 6770M... seems it's up to date, so I don't know :) What video driver I should try?

Try using Catalyst Version 13.4 because I have no issues with that with the same series of card. Seems to be a big issue on the steam forums and I've been trying to help people to narrow down the issue.

Also have you tried enabling hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering on your GPU?

Last edit: Some people fixed the issues by installing the latest net framework

Tryed, still not working, pixels floating everywhere. Got both the framework 4.5 and used Catalyst :/

I'm not sure then
One of the things seemed to help the other people but you said you did all that (actually did and not just that is already installed) so i don't know my friend.

If you're using steam try verifying the integrity of your cache. It's possible the game cache is corrupt.

I have upgraded Microsoft .NET to 4.5 too, but the game still don't work. I'm playing Legend of Dungeon and the game run fine. Idk what is wrong with this game (and it looks really cool T_T I'm sad I can't play it).

Try a different version Catalyst drivers
Title: Re: The game start, but I can only see black squares
Post by: Grokitach on September 18, 2013, 09:39:23 PM
Try to disable all graphics improvement from catalyst.

Also, I think that there's alternative ATi drivers made specifically for overclocking and stuff. Can't recall the exact name, but when I had an ATi card, it was really awesome and fixed some bugs on lots of games because of the greater controls on graphic options.

Reinstalled again and disable all graphic improvement, nothing changing. Mhe... I feel it will never work on my laptop, even if I meet the requirements. Other ideas? :| :-\

Someone on the steam forums was getting the exact same issue and they apparently fixed it by using windows update to update the .net framework.

Check if you've ignore windows updates and see if you can update any related to .net and in general keep windows up to date.

You using windows 8? I keep reading about problems and  people having to manually install the right opengl drivers for it.

Don't know myself since I upgraded to 7 lately since I jump an OS usually (Had XP on before).

Opening the config file and setting all value to FALSE just resolve the bad corrupted tiles on menu. Game is still laggy and when it start, still black screen and unplayable. Mhe  :P
