if you still have black screen issue after the java and framework fix then open up the mir2config.ini in your game folder and change
HighResolution=False to HighResolution=True and also
FullScreen=False to Fullscreen=True

that should sort it out aswell


also is the server offline at the moment?

Thank you, installing the directx development kit did the trick for me.

what graphics card do you have? Onboard laptop graphics card perhaps? You should prob make a help thread in the crystal section.

Yea m8, both .

Does this work for you ?
Someone who has a constant black Screen,

Could you perhaps test this client for me?

The download should contain all you need, It runs on a test laptop without any extra work, It uses SlimDX rather then ManagedDX

Download: Client (763KB)

Tried this ?

1. Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Run and type in regedit

2. go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\ DirectDraw and change the EmulationOnly value data from 1 to 0(right click > Modify)

3. go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\ Direct3D\Drivers and change the SoftwareOnly value data from 1 to 0(right click > Modify)

i'm guessing your graphics 'card' (onboard chip) is just to old, it doesnt support any hardware vertex shaders etc
