When I go to login, it shows the Dark Wind square with the Pho on background, fades to black, and basically absorbs the client. Never get the actual game to load up at all, and it retains running as a process when I hit ctrl+alt+delete. I have already updated the graphics drivers as well. Running Windows XP

*Urban Decay* Posted Jan 21, 2010, 4:30 am	Yeah it was the first thing I tried when I had the problem. After that I updated Java to see if that was it and got nothing.
Marrkos Posted Jan 21, 2010, 5:08 am	'Graphics drivers' is all I've got.

Running Windows XP This is the exact same problem I have with my computer on this game.
*Urban Decay* Posted Jan 21, 2010, 5:31 am	Gonna be working on over the next day or two, if I find a way to fix it I'll let ya know.
*Urban Decay* Posted Jan 21, 2010, 5:07 pm	Well, just rechecked to see that I most current version of Java, and did a complete re-install of game. Still no change. Client never loads, just shows the process as running.
*sam* Posted Jan 21, 2010, 5:47 pm	What happens if you try to run darkwindClient.exe directly, rather than via the java/patcher "lobby" program?
*Urban Decay* Posted Jan 21, 2010, 5:54 pm	Looks like it gives the Dos Box and stays blank black. Normally that should fill with info and then load the client.
*sam* Posted Jan 21, 2010, 5:59 pm	Sounds like graphics drivers. Cough. Can you find anything about OpenGL mentioned in the console.log file after it fails?
*Urban Decay* Posted Jan 21, 2010, 6:01 pm	I get no info at all really. Got the updated drivers for the Geforce 6 series already. Its an old 6200. But runs fine on my friends comp which is an onboard 6150 LE. Will try doing the drivers again and letting it restart and see if it helps.

*Urban Decay* Posted Jan 21, 2010, 6:06 pm	Oh, yeah looked into it and it has a lot of not found for anything representing a graphics card in anyway. Has like pages of this shouldn't happen lol. Edit: Pretty sure it is probobly going to be an OpenGL issue. Not sure yet what I need to do to fix it properly though.
*Urban Decay* Posted Jan 22, 2010, 3:10 pm	So, anyone know yet a way to fix this more then likely opengl issue? Am I going to need some older driver version? I heard something about a d3d method of playing as well somewhere.
*Urban Decay* Posted Jan 24, 2010, 12:59 am	Well I tried an old forceware driver 78.05 I believe, and OpenGL works again, can load up the game and play just fine again. If this older driver gives me problems later on I will try seeing if I can get the d3d switch from within the game to work and see if it will then let me use the current driver and play.
