Niteshade0 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) I just built a new gaming rig over the weekend and after re installing xcom/enemy within and the latest Long War patch upon trying to load the game it just loads into a black screen.I can't alt tab out or use ctrl/alt/del. All I can do is force reboot the whole pc. I've tried the troubleshooting options. The game loads fine as just the vanilla version tho.

dubiousintent Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Not a common problem. If the vanilla game loads fine, then the issue is specific to LW. Did you remember to disable "hash checking"? By "troubleshooting options" I presume you mean those listed in the LW "Detailed Troubleshooting" document? If the above are answered "yes", then I suggest you post this issue in the appropriate Beta Feedback thread in the "Long War" download page "forum section" for a quick response. (The LW Team has stated they don't check the main forum at all anymore for problems. Really, the dev team is the most likely to be able to help with a LW issue but anyone else who can also will be there.) You may also find that the answer is already known and posted in that section. Be sure to read the "Readme" and "Detailed Troubleshooting" documents included with the LW download before reporting bugs. They need all the information requested there (including which platform) to be able to help. If they can't reproduce the problem, they can't fix it. You increase your odds of getting help by re-reading included documentation and following instructions on reporting bugs, and then documenting what you have already tried ... in detail. Short "it's broke" reports simply generate requests for more detail; wasting time. Better too much detail than not enough.While the LW installer handles any code modifications for you, it is still necessary to prepare your system for mods as laid out in the wiki article "Basic Guide to installing mods". The "Environment" section in particular still applies to LW, and the "OS/X mod installation" section has specifics for Mac versions. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niteshade0 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 I'll check on the hash check part n such after work. It's just weird as I ran long war fine from the get go on my othe rig, prolly why this caught me by surprise. Thanks for the input and I'll also see about checking the other forum section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
