I launch the game and it starts up with a black screen, i can hear the music and see the standard PA blue cursor, i have updated my graphics drivers etc. And have no programs that might be interfering with the application.
Hello, There are two things you can do first: 1) Update your Intel drivers, which are from 2011: Code: Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2430M CPU @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.4GHz Card name: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family Driver Version: 8.15.10.2405 Driver Date/Size: 5/24/2011 01:17:06, 7474688 bytes 2) Also, please check this Steam Community post for a list of incompatible software: http://steamcommunity.com/app/233250/discussions/2/558751813508748383/ MSI Afterburner is one type of software that can trigger black screens. If you have it, you can either disable it or check out this thread to make Afterburner work with PA: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/blackscreen-on-startup-since-last-update.63440/#post-991967 EDIT: Just read that the MSI Afterburner black screen issue was fixed with RivaTuner Statistics Server v6.3.0.
