Black Screen Problems(1)Category: Technical SupportJuly-23-2014 2:46 AM PDT (8 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
I installed D3 on my new laptop. What happens is when I launch the game, it opens up in full screen, but it's all black. I get the game mouse, and I can hear all the background noise as well as hear the SFX when i hover over the menus stuff, which I cant see. I didnt have this problem with my previous computer, and I tried updating my drivers, as well as switching the game to windowed mode from the settings; still doesnt work. Any help is appreciated, ty

Nubbyn,

Are you using Windows 8.1 by any chance?

If so, could you try installing this Microsoft Hotfix?

Microsoft also recommends this Hotfix if you don't already have it installed.

If neither of these helps with the problem, try editing your D3Prefs.txt file located in My Documents\Diablo III and making sure vsync is enabled. This line should be present:

Vsync "1"
