Hi Guys, 

I know this has been asked alot before! I have been playing the game for years and never had any issues but today I have tried to go onto the game and the black screen of death has happened, it loads the editor but then will not run the game, I have a digital copy through steam and have un-installed the game and also un-installed steam then re-installed but still the same problem.  

I have tried the usual changing the em4.cfg file but that has not worked either, also updated the Nvidea graphics drivers and still the same problem. 

Please can someone give me a hand as I love playing the game and have like 800hrs on it. 

Thanks 

Ant

I think there's something on your PC, most likely software that's causing Em4 to mess up. Could be Windows DEP, could be anti virus. I dont see why it wouldnt work on your PC specs.

The reason I have this idea is because the logfile shows you succesfully got into FP. It just crashed shortly after.

To reduce the chance of things messing up, I'd put Em4.exe into Windows XP SP3 compatiblity, and run it in administrator.

Test the game through the editor. There's less that can go wrong. Retest and send over the logfile.

Thanks for replying bud. 

I have done what you suggested and also replaced the Original file config file and it seemed to have worked, although I only played on it for a short period of time last night.

so will give it another longer test in the next couple of days and see how I get on. If any problems I will resend the Log file http://www.emergency-planet.com/uploads/emoticons/default_smile.png 

Thanks for your help.  

Hey Guys,

Well here we are in 2019 and I have started getting the same problem. I run the game and it plays for a couple of mins and then all of a sudden the screen goes black and it goes back to the desktop! I am playing the game downloaded from steam and have played on it for years! never had any problems up until now. 

All my drivers are up to date and running on windows 10 pro. 

Have tried going into the Em4 file and changing the resolution but still no luck, tried Re-Installing the game and Add on and same thing happens.

Can anybody recommend anything else to try?
