Poker Night problems: Black Screen + Broken Menu

[Falanca]

I hope TTG version doesn't do the same.

[koiboi59]

Uh, not even the telltale version works.

Sounding off with the same problem. Using an Inspiron 1525 laptop with Intel Celeron Inside, running Windows Vista.

Confirmed. This is not good. Not good at all. With so many people having this problem, Telltale had better find a way to fix it and not leave us all hanging out to dry.

[OsgoodeZBeard]

Same problem here, using the Steam version.

[JuanACookie]

Diagnosis:
Lagged framerate
Black screened background and graphics
missing graphics from options menu
game crashes after starting a game or changing certain settings

My graphics card is an ATI Raedon X1200 series
DirectX 10.0
gigabytes of free space
AMD athelon 64 dual processor 6000+
2.8 gb of ram
Vista.

Runs TF2 and other Source games just fine.

Any cure(patch)?

EDIT: running steam version

[The Highway]

Game won't start on either version.

The one time it DID work, the game ran super slow, the buttons to change the graphics were non existent, basically Telltale have sold me a game that does nothing.

[Shatter]

I'm having the same problem. The game loads up and the background is black. When I try to change the resolution or some other settings, the game just crashes.

[LowMoralFiber]

I never thought I would type these words, but Telltale has failed considerably with this release. How did they unleash such a seemingly ill assembled game upon the fanbase? Have any TTG reps even acknowledged these issues yet? I'm sure the game will be hilarious, but it sounds like even the people who can get it to work are having supreme problems. Sheesh.

[Zootch]

I've been having those same issues, I tried forcing the windowed version (Alt+Enter)
Surprisingly it doesn't crash the game like the menu option does, it also fixes the incredibly problematic mouse lag. However it does nothing to fix the missing graphics. Starting a new game only causes a black screen to appear with all the audio and, curiously enough, the subtitles to show along the bottom.

Is this something I'll need to spend the night fixing, or can I expect a fantastic patch that will fix this like magic by the end of the week?

What are your system specs, Zootch?

Manufacturer- TOSHIBA
Model- Satellite A215
Processor- AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-58 1.90 GHz
Memory (RAM)- 1918 MB
System Type- 32-bit Operating System


Does that help?

[Jzzb]

This reminds me of a similar issue with Alien Swarm that was fixed by a patch.

I'd say sit tight and either wait for a patch, or word from Telltale.

2 GB RAM
2.0 Ghz 1 core
I'll get an SS in a sec.

The Same here.

My Specs:

GeForce 5200 (128 MB, dx8 hardware dx9 software supported, no official driver updates for years now)
2,8 Ghz CPU (1 core)
1,5 GB Ram
Win XP SP3 (32 bit) (German OS)

I experience no tears in the menue but no captions on the buttons and when I start the game everything is black. I can hear Winslow and see the subtitles but when the game is supposed to start (something about 10000$) it just crashes to desktop.

It also crashes when I try to change the resolution or to enter windowed mode.
It does not crash if I lower the quality settings for graphics or shadows and I can change the bleeping option without problems (at least I hope so, heard nothing bleepworthy during the intro)

This happens in the Steamversion and the TTG-Version of the game.

I'm sure they know, but I don't have my hopes up for a fix before the holiday is over.

What are your graphics/video cards? That might be the most important thing.

[der_ketzer]

I saved a crashreport (started a new game and waited until it crashed)

Maybe it will help?
