Black Screen at Map Launch

Post by Auburnman »

My screen goes black immediately after map launches. Not having the problem on any server except ours and it just started. Buffalo is having the same issue. Has anyone heard of this?

Binary, Jun, and lonewolf?, were having the same issue, turned out to be a map problem, I took the map out to stop it, but might be another.

So to see what the problem is with these black screen of deaths, it would be interesting to try to do this:
create a bind key with this:

bind ] "condump theconsoledump"

Then when you have the blackscreen, you can try hitting the "]" key, quit the game and see if you see a file named "theconsoledump" in your main folder, or the in our mod folder "o3a".

If you do this and see that information, copy and send it to me—it should say what is amiss.

I changed the rotation a week or so ago. I can put a new one in on Sunday. Maybe that will fix it?

Usually yes that's exactly what causes it. Weird
