Summary0001062: Blank screen, but sound
DescriptionAfter starting DF, the screen stays black, but sound's still working. My video card is an Intel G965 Express integrated thingy.
I've tried toggling various stuff in the init file (changing fonts, switching between fullscreen and windowed, disabling the intro, enabling graphics), but the screen still stays blank.
Steps To Reproduce- Start DF.

I once tried changing my font to 16x16 squares. Then I got the same problem.

If you download a new, clean version of the game, and just run that without modifying anything ,does the problem persist, Apo?

If not, then it's probably just a problem with the tileset/graphics/init settings.

Well, my current settings are
[WINDOWED:YES]
[WINDOWEDX:800]
[WINDOWEDY:600]
[FONT:curses_800x600.bmp]

(My graphics drivers are up to date, by the way. Forgot to mention that in the report.)

Edit: Logical2u: This is on a clean version.

So no graphics, no partial print?

The only possible thing I can think of that might cause that is the .bmp not being in the correct format - should be 24 bit I think.

Yup, it's 24 bit. As I said, this is fresh from the zip.
Just tried converting the font files to png and using those, but that didn't do much either.

Try updating your graphics drivers. Win 7 drivers were very shaky for a while after launch, so if you haven't updated recently, yours probably have problems.

Graphics drivers are up to date, did the update yesterday.

Oops, I didn't read carefully.

Does DF 40d do the same thing? What about 40d16? There was a bug report a while back where nothing worked except turning off the SINGLE_BUFFER option in 40d16 init: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=42419.0 [^]

Didn't even occur to me to test with old versions...
Is http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/df_28_181_40d.zip [^] 40d16? It has the same problem.
I tried copying "[SINGLE_BUFFER:NO]" (and OFF) to the top of my init, but that didn't do anything.

Nope, that's regular 40d. This is 40d16: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=40349.0 [^]

40d16 doesn't stay black, it doesn't even overwrite whatever was under the window before (so I still see the explorer stuff in it)
After turning SINGLE_BUFFER *on* instead of off and switching to fullscreen instead of windowed mode, I do get (flickering) graphics.

(Texture compression is turned off, by the way.)

Hmm. 0.31 might not work for you until the 40d# merge, then. I can't think of anything else to try.

Aw.
I hope I'll get my fixed video card back soon, then. =P
