Warcraft 3 Black Screen After Cinematics
Hey if you got any problems with black screen make sure you turn any anti virus off and see if it works, This was my issue after a long of time trying things out, just do it to check if your anti virus is the problem! Maybe we can figure out a better way to handle anti viruses later on Warcraft 3 reforged beta black screen when starting (solved). Black Screen Issue. Fix 1: Switch out of your game, then switch back in. This is the first thing you should try when you have a black screen issue on Warcraft III: Reforged. To do this: -When your game is running, press the Alt and Tab keys on your keyboard at the same time to switch out of the game. Feb 03, 2020 Warcraft 3: Reforged is out now on PC, however, the game is overloaded with errors. Players are reporting the stuttering, freezing, black screen, and other in-game bugs.
Warcraft 3 Black Screen Windows 10
I recently got a Zotac GTX 260 216sp AMP2 (don't know what that means, but dealer told me it is pre-overclocked).
It runs all the latest games fine (Fallout 3, Far Cry 2 and the like) but oddly enough it just kills my Warcraft 3: TFT.
Here's the problem:
I'd be playing it halfway, and the screen will go black, and after a long time (about a minute or so) it will return to the game fine. This repeats itself every few minutes. At this point, if I alt-tab, the same long black screen will occur again.
I was previously using an Ati card, and thought there might be driver conflicts. So I uninstalled the nVidia drivers, got Driver Cleaner Pro 1.5 and cleaned all Ati and nvidia drivers in safe mode. I reinstalled the nVidia driver again (180.48) and rebooted, and went back to playing.
The same problem occured, except that this time, the graphics become all messed up upon returning from the long black screen (See image). Upon exit game, desktop appears fine and works normally (no artifacts).
GPU temperatures appear to be normal (~52 on idle, ~70 on load).
I looked it up on the net and someone suggested a directx test (dxdiag > test directdraw and direct3d).
In directdraw there are 3 tests: 2 non-full screen and 1 full screen test. The non full screen tests run fine. When it reached the 3rd test (full screen test) the same long black screen thing happened again, but ultimately it passed.
Next was Direct3d and the very first test is already a full screen one. At this point it didn't continue. I had to press the reset button because nothing was responding anymore.
It seems there are no absolute solution to this and therefore I am posting in hopes of getting some help from you all. I also got a nv4_disp BSOD before I reinstalled the drivers, but upon Driver Cleaner + reinstall, it didn't happen anymore.
Here are my specs:
Windows XP SP2
Gigabyte P35-DS3 motherboard
Intel C2D E6750 2.66Ghz
Kingston 2GB DDR2 RAM (PC6400 I think)
2 x 160GB Western Digital HDDs
Zotac Geforce GTX 260 216 sp AMP2
Samsung Syncmaster 226BW wide screen LCD monitor, running @ 1680x1050 and 60Hz
Feel free to ask for any additional info as required. Do note that other newer, more graphically demanding games run fine even after many hours of playing and alt-tabbing (Fallout 3, Far Cry 2, Need for Speed Undercover).
I updated to the Nov 2008 DirectX 9.0c and it seemed to work (yesterday) but I just got my first long freeze in a game earlier. Also upon update the dxdiag tests ran fine.
Thanks in advance.
