Black screen but have sound and the game runs (Shadow of the Tomb Raider)
Faced with this problem, to menu everything is fine, then the game also starts, there is sound but nothing is visible except the menu and maps. Sometimes randomly the image may appear, but still with time is obscured, like here -Directx12 is not enabled, have updated all the drivers on the video card, tried different resolutions and graphic settings, still this problem makes the game completely unplayable.
Old thread which I thought I would update since Epic games is giving out this game for free this week and I thought someone might have the same problem ie. trying to run the game on a HD 6950 only to get a black screen when the live action begins. I am running WIn 10 Pro. Simply run the program by changing the compatibility to Win 7. If you don't know how to do this simply locate the SOTTR .exe in the ShadowoftheTombRaider folder either in the Epic Games folder and/or the "Program File (x86)" folder on your C: drive. Right click on the SOTTR .exe file. Select Properties, then Compatibilty. Change the Compatibility to Windows 7 and the program runs as intended.
@Guest, I finally found it! It was in the "Program Files", not in the "Program Files (x86)"
@Guest, I changed the compatibility to Windows 7, but the problem remains... I have Windows 8 though, not Windows 10 Pro...
