Black screen when I try to play.(1)Category: Technical SupportAugust-14-2014 3:01 PM PDT (8 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Hello! I am interested in playing Diablo 3. I downloaded the starter edition to try the game out. Once I press the Play button, I get a black screen with an arrow cursor and the music playing in the background. I want to try the game before I buy it, but I'm unable to play due to this reason.

heartlz,

Try editing your D3Prefs.txt file located in My Documents\Diablo III.

Using a text editor like Notepad, change either or both of these lines if they exist.

DisplayModeWindowMode "0"
Vsync "0"

to

DisplayModeWindowMode "1"
Vsync "1"

Save the file and try the game again now.
