Wetlips,

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.

Wetlips,

I have two suggestions you can try to see if we can get the game to display.

First, edit your D3Prefs.txt file to force the game into windowed mode.

Change this line

DisplayModeWindowMode "0"

to

DisplayModeWindowMode "1"

Try the game again after saving the file.

If that doesn't help, edit the file again to force the game to use your monitor's native resolution.

Change these lines

DisplayModeWidth "1280"
DisplayModeHeight "720"

to

DisplayModeWidth "1366"
DisplayModeHeight "768"

And try the game again after saving.

Daellana,

I'd need to see all of the information I asked Wetlips for as it applies to your computer before I could make any suggestions.

Daellana,

It should be saved as a text file. Just cut and paste it into a reply. If it's too large, split it up into two posts.

I'll need the D3Prefs.txt file too which is also a text file

Daellana,

Could you try changing the refresh rate for your desktop down to 60Hz and see if it makes a difference in the game? Also, I'd refrain from using the latest beta AMD drivers right now. We've had reports from users that they're causing crashing in a specific area in Act II.
