Zeno Clash black screen on startup?

Jman522 · 09-21-2009, 02:43 AM

I recently built a new gaming pc and installed windows 7 RC beta on it, after installing steam and getting Zeno Clash downloaded onto my pc, I found that when I tried to start up the game, it simply lead me to a black screen, no sound, nothing just a plain black screen that stays there, I even waited 10 minutes or so to see if anything would happen.

Tried:
- waiting
- Ctrl - Alt - Del
- Esc
- Verify cache
- Reinstalling the game

I'm not sure what else I can do, and I'm assuming Steam has the game up to date? The only thing I could think of is that it might have issues running on windows 7? If anyone could help me out it would be a greatly appreciated.

This thread has two suggested fixes you might want to try out.

Try reading through the official Zeno Clash Bugs thread topic also. If you want to follow-up discussion of your problem it is best to do it there.

It may be a driver issue with Windows 7.
We can run it without problems here in Windows 7, but I remember someone that had the same problem, he had dual boot and worked ok in windows XP but had the same problem in windows 7.
