[0.12.18][posila] Black screen in changelog window.

[rk84]

After update I ended up with black screen. I run the exe again with no problem, but when I try to look changelog screen turns black.

Win 10, 64-bit installed

[kinnom]

try to reinstall the game with the installer from the site

[DaDude]

Nah, happens for me to, no matter if i update or reinstall it from the installer.
While that doesn't bother me (just restart the game and the changelog wont show up), it's something that should be fixed for a stable version.
As rk84 said, i can reproduce it by opening the changelog once more from the menu.
I'm also running Windows 10 (Threshold 2 Update) 64bit on an i7 and Nvidia Optimus .

Logs might be helpful.
Do I understand it correctly that whole screen turns black, not just part of a screen that would be changelog window?
@rk84, do you also have Threshold 2 Update? What is your hardware spec?

[kovarex]

I also limited the ingame changelog to only show things since the last stable release.

Is it still happening in 0.12.19 ?

[posila]

I tried it on friend's computer with Win 10 Threshold 2 update and we were able to reproduce it in 0.12.18 but it didn't happen in 0.12.19

[rk84]

Still in 0.12.19, but now it happens if I scroll down.

[DaDude]

@posila: just an idea, but, is it possible that this is another nvidia optimus error?
Because it's known to cause trouble at times, and when looking at rk84s specs, i'd say it's an optimus system just like mine.
(mine is a i7-4720HQ with a GeForce GTX 970M and 8GB Memory )
If it's of any help, i'll get some logs when i'm back from work. Didn't try 0.12.19 yet.

[posila]

I reproduced it on desktop with GTX 660 Ti, so it doesn't happen only on Optimus. It is probably something Threshold 2 related.

[DaDude]

Damn, ok, nevermind I guess my logfiles won't help anymore if you're able to reproduce it for yourself?

[ChainsLunatic]

If that helps: I can't reproduce it with v.0.12.19 on an Intel i7-4500U without an extra graphics card. Windows 10 with Threshold 2.

[posila]

It seems to be a clash of nVidia drivers and Win 10 update 1511. I tried it on with AMD GPU and it worked fine. I also tried it on laptop with 32bit Win 10 and GTX 330M (which is super old) and it worked fine.
I will install Win 10 on my computer eventually.

[rk84]

I had black screen again after update to 0.12.21. I noticed there were new nvidia driver. so I got it and I was able to view the changelog. I hope it will work in next update.
