Monitor Goes Blank Whilst Playing...

[Jewell 10]

Hi guys,

I did a search but couldnt find anything.

I am currently in game and would like some help please.

I am playing online on Zargabad and sometimes, say 4/10 times the screen goes blank but I can still hear whats going on just nothing on the screen, 100% black.

When I push Escape I can see the mouse cursor but nothing else.

This happened once before and A guy told me to type something in and push enter and it worked but for the life of me, cant remember as it was ages ago.

I'm running an Nividia.

I'm still in game so any help would be greatly appreciated ASAP as I've got 2 trucks full of Oil to sell:D

THanks.

More details then just nvida, what Nvidia card do you have, whats your CPU speed?

Its possible you driver failed for your gpu, its possible your overheating, and its also possible that your card does not meet the requirements of the game.

Your GPU is running out of VRAM. Simple solution to this:

Press: Shift+ - (num pad)

Then type: F L U S H

You should see a "Activated FLUSH" and in a few seconds your screen will go back to normal.

Good luck with the oil :D

I can confirm same MP issues as Jewell

using a Nvidia gts 250 so probably nvidia related

that flush trick works great but it doesnt always register for me...and im left with a black screen until i tab-out and restart

I had the same issues, but they were resolved after I did 2 things.

1. I noticed that my computers internal temp was high, so I increased the speed of my fans. Now the temperature runs about 80F instead of 106F.

2. I updated the drivers for my GTS 240's (I have 2).

Since doing these two steps I have not had the problem return. Hope this helps.
