Hi all,
Today I attempted to install a new skin into the game. I put the skin file into the correct folder then selected that skin on the preferences page. Then clicked on 'confirm' with always reload skin cache ticked. In the past (on previous versions of FM) it has taken a few minutes for the new skin to take effect, however I left for over 15 minutes and nothing happened. I then closed the FM application as nothing seemed to be happening.
Then started FM up again. It loads past the initial intro but I now get a black screen instead of the menu. Surely the 2 are linked? Perhaps I just have to re-select the default skin again - but how to do?
I have tried the following fixes also:
There are three probable causes for you getting a white or black frozen screen upon starting the game.
The First reason could be that your Cache files have become corrupted and deleting them will fix the issue.
To do this follow either of these paths depending on your Operating System.
Windows XP:
C:\Users\<User Name\App Data\
Vista and Windows 7:
C:\Users\<User Name>\App Data\Roaming
Once you can see inside those folders delete the Sports Interactive Folder.
If you can’t see those folders you will have to make “Hidden” files viewable.
For Vista and Windows 7:
In a window, go to 'Organize'->'Folder and Search Options'->'View'-> and select 'Show hidden files and folders'.
For XP:
Make sure you are able to see hidden folders:
When in a window, go to 'Tools'->'Folder Options'->'View'-> and make sure 'Show hidden files and folders' is selected.
Also some users have reported getting around the 'Black Screen' issue by creating a new account on their version of Windows and starting the game through this user. We suggest doing so if the above advice does not work for you.
But not worked.
I have also tried verifying game cache on steam - but no success!!
i am out of ideas. Thanks for your help?
Cheers
