I can confirm this i can now see the game but it still crashes when every one is done puting in there 10k and options are still not showing up also tyco -spelling - is all black has no textuer

[bigchees11]

yup that's right man come on with a fix!

[bigchees11]

i mean if i can get that far getting the game to work a little im sure the creators and sellers of this crap can make it work overnight with a patch!

I just get the Telltale logo, then black screen with sound effects.

Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) 8650 Triple-Core Processor 2.30 GHz

2 GB RAM

NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 video card

[Kayube]

Here's what I have:

Manufacturer Hewlett-Packard
Model (Not telling you what kind of computer I have, it probably doesn't matter anyway)
Total amount of system memory 2.00 GB RAM
System type 32-bit operating system (Windows Vista)
Number of processor cores 2
64-bit capable Yes


Display adapter type ATI Mobility Radeon X1600
Total available graphics memory 1019 MB
Dedicated graphics memory 256 MB
Dedicated system memory 0 MB
Shared system memory 763 MB
Display adapter driver version 8.31.100.32
Primary monitor resolution 1680x1050
DirectX version DirectX 9.0 or better

The game can be played, but it's slow, and the Telltale logo and menu screens are torn up with lines like some other people have reported. Also for some reason when Max goes all in occasionally I can't see the chips he's pushing in. Still a fun game though, and I know my computer's not good-graphic-y enough to run some of the latest-latest stuff.

Good for you again but not solving the problem for all others who have the black screen issue that needs to be solved quickly!

bigchees11, yelling, ranting and posting over and over again and insulting the devs isn't exactly helping.

They are aware of the issues and are working on them. No more posts in this thread, please, unless you have something constructive to add.

I was reading through the Thread and here is what I would do to check to make sure I got everything up to snuff on playing the game. Everyone needs to remember this.....Latest games are programmed and ran on latest drivers and hardware. I know everyone isn't running latest hardware so lets make sure we have latest drivers.

Graphics
AMD/ATI: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx

Nvidia: http://www.nvidia.com/page/home.html

Intel: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/

DirectX http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/e...displaylang=en

Now I know you may have an old video card and may not think you need to upgrade your drivers, but you do. I have tried this game on my other machine that has a 7600GT and it runs the game with XP and latest drivers. It is VERY SLOW in full screen mode but payable in windowed mode. So try the game outside of full screen mode. Yeah it sucks, but you can play it. Lower your graphical settings. Open your Graphic Card's control Panel and under 3D settings turn Anti Aliasing: OFF. If you don't know how Google it. Google is your friend.

If the game still doesn't work then you will have to wait. But at least you can say you have the latest drivers and updates and are ready for the patch to be released. I hope this helps.

[bigchees11]

from one of the threads in the support forum for those that can't get the game to run...

"Right click on ‘Poker Night at Inventory’ in Steam -> Properties -> Set launch options.
Add “-w 1024 -h 768 -refresh 60″. Run the game, and change video settings in game options to this resolution and refresh rate. It happens because your monitor doesn’t support default resolution.Remove this command line after you have changed the video settings."

Hope this helps.

Thanks but that's no solution for the black screen and no images coming up on the screen just sound. And I saw that website page you linked and tried it all!

valkysas - I was looking at your DXDIAG log post and for what the graphic requirements that the game has right now, The Nvidia GeForce 5900 will not handle the game, unless TellTale makes a patch to REALLY cut back the graphics of the game. But we are making progress. Hopefully TellTale is reading this post so they know where the support is needed.

Glad to hear a response from you guys. I am sure your all going nuts trying to fix this.

I there any specific system information we could provide, that would be of great help to TellTale solving the issues?

PS: I hope this thread has helped so far.
