Black Screen with sound

[happymom123]

We installed Farming Simulator 2015 and when we start the game all we get is a black screen but you can still hear the game starting. Here is our computer info:

Windows Vista Home
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2200 @ 2.20GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.2GHz
Memory: 2046MB RAM
DirectX 11

ATI Radeon HD 5450 with 1783 memory
Current Display Mode: 1440 x 900 32bit

C: Drive has 116GB Free Space

could you check if you have a log.txt, and paste the contents into the post window

---> C:\Users\<NAME>\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2015\log.txt

thanks


and could you read thru the following post, with attention to your graphics card driver updates --> Problem: Crash/Black Screen/No Picture/No Colors

I already did all the steps in the other topic and nothing has worked

Thank you for the help!

[Keifer]

as far as I can tell, your log-report looks good .. unfortunately there is one problem

the game engine seems to have some issue with the 32bit operating system .. they have a bug-report thread in the German-speaking forum

please see my last post in ----> Re: GAME CRASHING

you are asked to add to that .. but, you don't have to .. no pressure


we are hoping for a new patch soon, as per the co-author of the engine ... no fixed date, of course

The update on Steam did not involve any gameplay changes. This update only changed some minor things due to changed Steam regulations.

We are currently working on a bigger 1.3 update, that will fix most of the known issues.

thank you for your patience

I need help! I've played FS2015 recently until I deleted it. Now as I'm trying to reinstall it I'm having the black screen/with sound problem again. This happened before but I was able to fix it. I just don't know how I did. I'll be honest I'm really not very computer savvy so some generous help would be appreciated as my son loves this game.

[Heizer]

Did you install the latest patch 1.2 yet? If not, please do: http://landwirtschafts-simulator.de/updates.php?lang=en
According to the FAQ this problem is caused by outdated graphics drivers: http://landwirtschafts-simulator.de/faq.php?lang=en

If the problem still occurs please post or attach your logfile (you can find under: users/documents/myGames/FarmingSimulator2015).

[DarlingtonFarmer7]

Great! Up and running now! My son and I thank you! Unfortunately I have another issue that has plagued us for awhile. It appears to happen on wheat fields mostly I think but the game will freeze up and if we haven't saved things currently we of course lose a lot of work. What can I do? I'm looking at my log and something about "out of range" keeps popping up but I don't know what to do about it or even if that's the issue. Some more help appreciated??

[Heizer]

Can you post the logfile or attach it after the problem occured?

[DarlingtonFarmer7]

I apologize if I've done something wrong, concerning what you wanted from me. My problem seems to happen when I'm in wheat fields a lot, picking wheat, driving a tractor/truck across one or picking up the straw left behind. Don't know if this helps at all. I wonder if my computer's graphics can't keep up making it lock up. I'm constantly saving my progress so I loose less everytime.

[Heizer]

It seems to be a mod causing these issues.
Can you remember which mods you added last which have own GUI elements or modify the basic GUI? You should try it without them, and then put them in one after the other and test in between each to find the one that causes the errors.

[DarlingtonFarmer7]

What is a GUI element and where in the mod would I find that? Would it have to be a mod that's actually being used in the current game or could just having it in the mod folder cause my problem?

[Heizer]

With GUI I mean graphical user interface, so everything which is displayed in the game which is not part of the 3D world, like the clock, map, speed display, etc.
Mods can have additional of these GUIs and it seems one of yours has one implemented wrong.

If it's just a script mod (a mod without any assets, just implements a function by a script) it of course is always loaded when it's in the modfolder. If the problem is a vehicle though, not having it bought should keep it from producing errors, yes.
