Black screen after exiting game(1)Category: Technical SupportFebruary-27-2014 3:12 PM PST (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
This problem appeared after Diablo 3 forced me to install new launcher with
error: BLZBNTBNA00000640 (1202).
I can still play Diablo 3, but whenever I exit the game, the screen goes black. The only thing that remains is mouse cursor, which registers everything normally (it changes shape when I move it over something that would make him change shape).
Nothing else works to remove black screen except direct restart. And things that DON'T help include: windows button, ALT+CTRL+DEL, ALT+F4, CTRL+Esc, ALT+TAB (tried it all).

My system:
XP home edition
Version 2002
SP3
Computer:
Intel(R)Core(TM)2 Duo CPU
E4600 @ 2,40Ghz
2.42 Ghz, 2,00 GB of RAM

I think the launcher might be the problem, because yesterday I entered the game (after update) and everything worked fine. Launcher was installed today and that's when the problem started.

Adrian,

Can you post some information about your computer? You can find this information in the Direct X Diagnostic Tool:

Click on Start
Click on Run
Type in: dxdiag (In Vista, type dxdiag in the search field)
Hit Enter or OK

Click on the Save All Information button at the bottom, and create a dxdiag text file, and copy and paste it ALL here.

Could you also post your D3Prefs.txt file? It's located in the My Documents\Diablo III folder.

Adrian,

I'd try two things for this first.

Update the video drivers to AMD's latest which can be found here:

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows%20XP%20-%20Professional/Home&RenderOnServer=true

If that doesn't help, try running the game in windowed mode instead of full screen. That can be set in game or by editing the D3prefs.txt file.

Change

DisplayModeWindowMode "0"

to

DisplayModeWindowMode "1"

Adrian,

I'm only offering troubleshooting suggestions to find out what's wrong. If you'd rather not attempt what I suggest, that's ok.
