Windows 10

1. Game fails to start (black screen).

(a). It maybe just taking a long time to load, up to 2 minutes, a problem with Windows 10.

(b.) Go to your game folder and open the folder called Main. Check that the game has created a Players folder here.

If not use this example (players folder) temporarily and copy it into that folder.

The game will then overwrite it and create your own later.

(c). Try putting a headphone jack in. This is an "odd" fix.

2. Brightness does not change.

Open "config_mp.cfg" found in the players folder of your game. Check any mods folder also.

Search for "r_overBrightBits=1". Change this to "=0"

3. Direct X error message.

This is fixed by installing older DX files. Download the official installer from 34th here: Dx Fix

This should also fix any Windows 7 DX errors. This will not effect any other already installed Dx files.
