Topic: Black Screen

This seems to be happening more recently. Reported by other corp mates and players in other corps as well. Just happened to me, jumped from Attalica to Hersh in Sequer, no modules running and black screen happens after jump. Was sitting at black screen for 5 mins, then closed client..

Happening to anyone else ?

Re: Black Screen

Can you paste the end of the Perpetuum.log?

Re: Black Screen

Sure.. Where would I find that ? A search of entire drive for Perpetuum.log returns no results

Re: Black Screen

It's in the folder of the game where you installed it.

Re: Black Screen

ahh ok.. It's not Perpetuum.log on my system it's just called Perpetuum

Not sure how much of the end you want me to paste so I'll just pick an arbituary amount.. You can tell me if it's not enough..

I did restart the client after the incident and played for another hour or two.. Dunno if that makes any difference to the log...

You're not seeing the .log because you have known file types hidden (the file association at the end of a file so Windows knows what program to use to open said file).  You can turn this back on by opening Windows Explorer (Double click My Computer / Computer will do just fine) > At the top go to tools > folder options (If you don't see Tools at the top hit F10 or you can go to Organize - Folder and search options) >  view tab > uncheck the box that says "Hide extensions for known file types" > Apply > Ok

And while you're there I like to check the "Always show menus" box so File, Edit, Tools, etc. always shows.
Profit.
