heey ppl, question, Diablo 3 i didnt play it for a while i wanted to play again but, when i start up the game it gives a black screen all the time... I can hear the sound and see the mouse cursor thats it. Anyone know how to fix it i tried everything i could think off last 2 days, no luck so far.

Reinstalling, administrator, repair the game, etc etc.

If anyone got the solution please let me know. thanks :)

Gromstriker,

For some, simply changing the game to use vertical sync resolves this symptom. You'll need to do this manually though since you can't get to the in-game menu. Look for and edit (with Notepad) your D3Prefs.txt file. It's located in your My Documents\Diablo III folder.

If you have a line like this

Vsync "0"

Change it to this

Vsync "1"

Save and exit the file and then try the game again.
