FoFiX 3.120+ - black screen

[Goodsss69]

so i downloaded the latest beta version and when i try to play i see just blackscreen
and yes its possible to change options or something
just have to remember where they were

i tried installer and archive
Versions 2.4 and 2.6

can some1 help? or you guys dont understand me?

EDIT: Solution

If you have this issue, simply remove the file "numpy.core._dotblas.pyd" from the data directory.
That's all. Seriously.

your problem is the megalight Theme

just go to Options > Visual (i think, second option) and change the megalight theme for another... maybe you need to download another theme

I have the same problem, the screen goes all black, but you can navigate through menus ...
I would like to know how to fix this ... I already tried to change the subject, and remains the same ...

One thing you could do is actually read the forum rules before you post, where it says that you must post your log file if you are talking about a problem you are having.

[BigBadLou]

Yup, it helps to post a log.

This problem seems to be more widespread than originally thought.
I can reproduce it on my machine as well. Fresh XP SP2 with MSVC9 RTE, 1GHz, 1GB RAM, nVidia 5200 FX.

Program starts up (displays the "Loading" text for a second) and shows black screen. It works, just with no UI.

I tried both 3.120 installers, the 2.4 python version and 2.6 python version.
Attaching log files for both.

It's been another week, did anybody get a chance to look into it?

[Dadigger]

same problem here
all gone black, navigate throu menue works ... but background and titels are black ...

no Theme works ... anyone have a fix for this problem ?

[slantyr]

all themes seem to work well for me using the alpha

did you try a fresh fofix.ini? it should be in the folder with the fofix.exe

just open the file in notepad and delete all text

also make sure your direct x and video dirvers are up to date

some older video cards can't do open gl could that be it?

[BigBadLou]

It's definitely not a videocard problem because I can reproduce the behavior on two different computers, one with an older card, one with a brand new card.
Version 3.100 did not exhibit this problem, only the "new and improved" 3.120 is broken.

Is there anything we can do to help debug this and fix it? It would be great if we could play 3.120 but with a black screen, it's kinda "hard". :)

So somebody please tell us what to try/log/test. I'm offering my help!

Lou

[DevXen]

Yeah, i'm getting the exact same problem.. black screen upon Load.. and i can use the arrow keys to scroll through 'unseen options' select one. then i can see the options.. and this happened directly off the initial install. so all the settings were at the defaults.

anyone have any ideas on how to fix this issue yet?

[lepancoti]

im same problem!
helpppp!
