No Display but the game is not crashing(1)Category: Technical SupportJune-22-2014 10:32 PM PDT (8 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Hi, couple of weeks ago when I ran D3 RoS , it was fine. But today I tried to run the game and I am getting nothing but black screen , no display at all but the music and sound effects are running smoothly and I can even start the game and get into town if I click at the right spots on my blank screen and when I click my mouse I can hear the sound effects for attacks.

The bottom line is that the game is running without any display and there is not crashing at all.

I am using NVidia GT 740 M, (up to date driver) 2 gigs dedicated memory, 8 GB RAM and Intel i7 4700-MQ processor.

I have been playing the game since release, off and on and never had any problem. But now all of a sudden the display is gone.

Please help.

Windspear,

Let's try running the game in windowed mode to see if that helps.

Here's how:

Go into your Documents\Diablo III folder > open the D3Prefs.txt file > locate the DisplayModeWindowMode line and change the "0" to "1" for windowed mode or "2" for full screen windowed mode > save and close the D3Prefs.txt file and launch the game.

Try either windowed mode to see if that helps. Let me know what happens.

For those of you running Windows 8.1 and using a hybrid PC (integrated and discrete video), there are a couple of Microsoft hotfixes you might want to look into installing.

The first directly addresses the issue of a black screen occurring when you start a game that uses Direct3D 9 in Windows 8.1

The second contains several updates that Microsoft recommends installing.
