Blank Screen on Start up - Workaround

Sarkie · 02-17-2010, 12:04 PM

Hi Guys,

My set up

ATI 4850,
Windows 7 x64,

I loaded up the game on my dual monitor and could see nothing.

I changed the Indigo Prophecy.ini in the directory to not load full screen, this allowed me to change the resolution.

Fullscreen=0

You can do this or press Alt- Enter to play it, there seems to be a bug for my computer. Hope it helps.

Thank you. I've just built a new PC with the same specs (ATI 4850 and Win7x64 OS) and see the exact same issue, so this appears to be hardware specific.

Will try your fix when I return home but I suspect it will work. FWIW, I have an AMD Athlon X3 3.0GHz with 4GB DDR3 1600 over an ASUS M4A77TD motherboard.

I was having the same issue with dual monitors. Also disabling the second monitor fixed the problem.

Where is the Indigo Prophecy.ini file? I tried searching but can't find it.

Never mind, I found it in Program Files/steam/steamapps/common/indigo prophecy.

Not sure why I couldn't find it before...

Thanks, this helped me as well (I have a 5850 on Windows 7 x64, dual monitors)
