I may have a game problem or a computer problem. When I try and start Dragonshard it'll go for a bit, give me a black screen, then minimize and disappear. What the heck? I've downloaded what was billed as the latest patch but I think I may have more problems than that. Anyone have any ideas on the problem?

I had the same problem with the Dragonshard demo, but I just gave up on it.

P.S. Good to see another Wisconsinite on the boards. :thumb: I hope you'll stay, but you may get confused with another long-time member if you keep that nick.

Check that, it lists the "black screen" issue, among other things.

Thanks for the guidance! I tried most of the solutions listed on that page and it still won't run. So it looks like I'll try the rest tonight.

Thanks again!

Np, I hope you get it worked out.
