Help please - client issue!

Hi guys...

Old school player returning back for duty (Guy). Having issues with my original forum account but anyway...

I have an issue with the client - the client launches but all I get is a tiny black box in the top left. See attached pic.

Attachment 17813

• I have installed Direct X
• I have installed latest graphic drivers
• I use a 32 inch HDTV (HDMI) for my monitor
• I have added to Norton exclusion lists
• I have installed .NET Framework

Mentioning no names but another server works on my PC, however I want to return to FGunZ, but it's not working.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Weird, what does that mlog say?

Looks like it launches and loads just fine, you just can't see it. Have you tried to delete the config.xml file and restart the game?

There isn't a Config.XML file in my folder. :*(

Redownloaded the client yesterday too.

Have you tried to alt-tab into the game? Or alt + enter while the game is focused?

You could also rightclick the gunz.exe -> properties and test compatibility modes and disable fullscreen optimization, stuff like that. I've heard people also fixed it in some games by changing their screen resolution.

Omg, Alt + Enter worked... although its now windowed and pretty tiny. See pic.

It's fixed - managed to change the in-game resolution to 1920 to match my monitor.

Thank you buddy!!
