Black screen after monitor change. (solved)
Posted: Fri Apr 27, 2018 12:12 pm
Hi guys.
My good monitor stopped working, and I had to downgrade from 1920x1200 to 1920×1080.
After this change I get a black screen with a (largish) white square when launching the game. (two thirds high, two thirds wide, in upper left corner) The menu music starts playing, and I can hear UI elements when moving the mouse or pressing keys. alt-f4 works as expected. The screen stays unchanged after the initial flash to black from launch until I quit the game.
I tried searching the forums for a similar problem, but I did not find anything. I have looked for .ini files with relevant settings in the steam folder (I was unable to find anything in appdata), and also tried reinstalling the game, but I still get the black screen when launching the game. On the day the monitor died I may have tried to launch the game on my secondary reading monitor that has a resolution of 1050x1680 (portrait), but I am not 100% on this.
Is there a way to reset graphics settings or force it to run windowed?
