Black screen since Windows 10 [Solved]

[Horza]

Hi everyone, I have a little problem.
I was on Windows 8.1 on my Asus and since I have Windows 10, I have a big problem with Battlefiel 1942.
When I want connect myself on a server (aX ) one out of three times I have a black screen and I have to shut down my computer...
I play BF1942 on a cracked version and it worked very good before, maybe some lags like black screen but not very often...
And now I can't play online with the Add-on (cracked too) :/

I hope my english was good, I'm french

Thank you !

I am playing this game on WinXP with 1GB ram only. I think the Window or game version is the problem. I kept the computer since 2005,lol

Have you tried to apply any compatibility mode to the exe file/shortcut (preferably win xp sp3). Windows 10 is the first cross platform OS of Microsoft (same OS works on mobile devices, pc and xbox and the software for them (games) is supposed to be interchangeable), so it may have lost some backward compatibility. I remember few year ago they said bf3 won't support windows XP. Now we may see the reversed scenario

Ahah yes, but I'm in a new house and I don't have my old computer since 10 years

Well of course I'm in compatibility XP 3 :/
And what about screen resolution 640*480 ? Or the color bit..

That's weird because on Windows 8-8.1 it worked normally...
After last year I couldn't play with new server, I just had to download a file to play online with new servers...

you can try to apply this patch, it sets some compatibility stuff except fixing the master server issue

http://team-simple.org/download/battlef ... _v1.61.exe

if that doesn't help, try to upgrade your graphic card driver

btw, at what point you're getting that black screen? right at starting the game? when connecting to server? alt-f4 or ctrl-alt-del does nothing then?

[Horza]

When I'm connecting to the server, I can play solo with no problem. It's just online :/
I'll tell you if it's better with your patch, I often upgrade my graphic card

try to set compatibility and run as admin on blackscreen.exe although i'm not sure whether it's used on map change or also when connecting
you can also try to set resolution to 800x600 which is the same as game menu runs in

Well I tried everything, doesn't work.
Maybe the cracked version with W10 is not the good relation...

Try to sue microsoft

i guess you'd stand no chance with retail cd version on win10 (all the unofficial patches are basically cracks since they include no-cd)

i have no computer with win10 (and frankly no one should) so i can't investigate it personally (and i'm afraid it's not just win10 but probably some combination of win10 and drivers/hw)

one more thing, try to create a new profile in the game and use that to connect

btw, i did see you in the game, was it a different computer?
