Black Screen & Hang w/ Vista x64 & Nexiuz 2.2.3

[ncc386]

Hey, I've been playing Nexiuz with my Vista x64 system. I was using the previous versions of Nexiuz without any problems. I recently installed the 2.2.3 release and now Nexiuz will not boot. I get a black screen without sound or anything. I have to open Task Manager and close the process to get it to go away.

I have an ATI Radeon X1900 w/ the 7.4 Catalyst drivers. I also recently bought a Hanns-G widescreen monitor. My video card driver settings are all set to their defaults. I'm running the April release of DirectX.

Does anyone have any ideas? I'm going to download and reinstall my video card drivers and DirectX just to see if that does anything.

Thanks!

try using the 'nexuiz-SDL' binary and let us know if you still have the same problem.

I'm sorry. I forgot to mention that I did try the SDL binary. Same exact thing. I'm stumped!

Try the following: open your windows explorer, go into the Nexuiz directory, right click on nexuiz.exe (or nexuiz-sdl.exe and choose create shortcut. The right click on the new shortcut and add -notexturenonpoweroftwo to the end of the 'target' line. Make sure there is a space before the -notexturenonpoweroftwo. and then double click that shortcut to start Nexuiz with that option and see if that works. (other wise try -safe which disables a lot stuff and might be slow but we can see if it works at all)
And please report back if that helped.

Wait! I just noticed something! I had just recently downloaded the full 2.2.3 version of Nexuiz. However, my download is only 193MB. The normal size is about 270MB! The ZIP file isn't corrupt. So, maybe someone accidentally uploaded the wrong file for a day, took it down, and then put the right file up? The fact that the ZIP file isn't corrupt, will open, and unpack means it's not a problem with the downloading process.

I'll be able to check the game later tonight once I've finished downloading the normal 270MB version, but I'm fairly certain it will work just fine since I was missing 80MB of data!

No, the uploaded files are correct and weren't changed. You are confusing 2.2.3 (nexuiz-223.zip, 191MB) with the just released 2.3 (nexuiz-23.zip, 273MB)

Oh, I see... well, I'm back to square-one anyway. The 273MB one craps out, too.
