Main menu problem

[Comte]

:confused:

Gentlemans,

I have a problem. I install the game without problem, I see the intro (JoWood intro, then black screen and a voice say: "Do you think this is a game...?" (I don't know, what I think: a game must run, but Gorasul...), graphical intro, then black screen and hear the voice, but the screen remains black) but I don't see the main menu, just a black screen and my keyboard not responding, so I can boot again. I repaired many times, I reinstalled many times, I tried the noov.exe, but the same result.

My config:

* Processor : Intel P III 800 - overclocked: no
* RAM : 256
* Grafic: NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS 32 - overclocked: no - lastest driver: yes
* Windows - '98 SE

I think this isn't a video problem, 'cause I see the intro...

So, Gentlemans, please help me ASAP :-)

Best hopes: Comte

Hello Comte!

Do you have a mouse cursor? And can you move it?

Does Alt-F4 brings you back to the windows desktop?

Hope this can make a bit more clear, what's going on on your machine...

Hello Stefan,

thanks for your attention. I have no cursor or anything: the screen is black, no images, nothing just the darkness of deep space :) (or :( )
The keyboard is totally inactiv, the alt + f4 or alt + tab or ctrl + esc or ctrl + alt + del does nothing; (same as num lock or cps lock do not ligth the keyboard's led)

I use the latest video drivers (Detonator I-do-not-remember-the-exact-version, but at home I can identify it :)) and DirectX 8.1 (the DX version 8.0 on the game's CD is instable, but I tried it with same results)

Thanks and good luck for you (and me :)): Comte

Hm, ok, try the gorasul_noov.exe. This contains a alternate video engine, which *may* avoids this problem.

If not, please give me the version number of the detonator.

Also check for personal mail here in the forum. :)

Hello Stefan,

I tried the gorasul_noov.exe too many times with alternate settings (DirectX 8.0a, 8.0 and 8.1) but the result is the same. At home I check the Detonator version, but I think this is the latest: I downloaded it two weeks ago for another game-problem solution :)

Best regards: Comte
