Black Screen freeze on Alt-tabbing/quitting/change resolution?

[6667bfdb1a42bhever50]

Hello SS Community,

I am new to SS2 and followed the installation SS2Tool guide and enjoyed the first 2 hours of the game. However when I went to quit, the screen went black and I can't bring up taskmanager or do anything except manually shut off my computer. I narrowed it down to it 100% happening on Alt-tabbing/Quitting/Change resolution. I'd appreciate any help so I can continue my SS2 adventures!

the gpu driver not agreeing with the game, most likely. if an update won't fix it/is not available, forcing the windowed mode in cam_ext.cfg (remove the semicolon from the force_windowed line) will probably circumvent the issue (you will lose the gamma control though).

maybe post your ss2.log, it might shed some light on this.

nothing unusual there.

maybe try adding this to your cam_ext.cfg and see whether it makes any difference;

Code: [Select]

d3d_disp_2d_surf_mode 3check values of 0, 1 or 2 as well.

These don't seem to work, but forcing windowed as you mentioned above did the trick for me. Thanks!
