Hi all, I just downloaded Planetside while I was at the Abbotsford Air Show (F-14 screaming 1000 feet over your head FTW) and I launched it and I get black screen and music. I've downloaded it twice now and I got black screen every time. I did detailed scan or w/e and it did download a new file but I still get blackness with stirring music in the background. Anyone help? ATI Radeon X800 pro w/catalyst 6.3 (latest) drivers.

part of the loading process does leave you at a plain black screen for up to a minuite depending on your computer specs (PS is actually leans heaviest on your system memory). not sure if that's before the music kicks in or not.
get it to the black screen, then go get a [insert beverage of choice]. if it's still plain black when you get back... for some reason SOE games and ATI cards have a rough history. not saying it WON'T work, just that it seems three of every four graphics problems are ATI only. try the official Help forums. bit of a long shot, but worth a go. It's not funny, it's not clever, and it WILL break if you play with it. -Zeke |

What keyboard are you using? What USB devices do you have hooked in?
Also... SOE Tech Forums - Black screen problems Hope that helps. Your answer is somewhere in there. "I am a biotic god! I think things... and they happen!"
