I just formated my comp, and updated drivers, now everytime i alt tab, i get the black screen. I can still move around but my screen is just completely black. I have a radeon 9800 pro. I didnt used to get the black screen before. Anybody know a fix?

Its a known issue. Won't be fixed until September. Workaround = play in windowed mode.

You can change an ini file to make the windowed mode the same size as your desktop.

yes they fixed it. It's a driver/directX issue.

Try to experiment with the ati drivers a bit... 8.0 works for me.

You can also try setting your desktop to the same resolution as NC?

What IS the best Radeon driver anyway?
Ive always used catalyst but maybe there are better things out there?


Right now I got a bug that makes Neocron freeze (looks like the computer hangs but I can ctrl+alt+del and still use the desktop but I cannot actually see anything because the frozen neocron image covers the whole screen 8|
The mouse pointer does show in the corners though but not in the middle of the screen. With some working in the blind I can then restart the computer but its beginning to be really anoying doing this 5-10 times a night...

if its XP when you hit CTRL-ALT-DEL it should bring up task manager (XP home), if you remember the keystrokes you can kill NC that way.

Catalyst 8.0?

Last time i checked they were on 4.6.

I've used and am using ATI drivers. Went from 4.4 down to 3.8 started playing SW:KTOR and had to go back to 3.8. But i still prefer www.driverheaven.com i like the omega drivers.

damn, sorry it's CATALYST Windows XP 4.6 (for some reasons it says 8.0 in driver info tab...). My bad.

It's all good. The site says one thing but the file is called something entirely different. I haven't taken the time to decode that mumbo jumbo they use for a file name yet.

If you experience that the mouse cursors is locked in a corner try a left click, this should pop you out to whatever wanted the mouse focus.
