black screen on windows

[byakko]

this is my first time attempting to play nexuiz. im using windows xp with sp2. i downloaded and extracted the file and made sure i kept the same file names. i tried to start the game and i heard music but it stayed as a black screen. i had to alt tab and end the task in tsk manager to get rid of it. i got the same problem when i ran the sdl version of it. and when i ran the dedicated one i got this:

Console initialized.

Probably you just have to install graphic drivers for you graphic card. Take them from your grahpic cards manufacturers homepage.. problaby ati.com, nvidia.com or intel.com

No problem, maybe we should add this to the FAQ (if people really read it in case of problems ).

Enjoy the game, or like gamer tend to say: Good luck and have fun.
