Zanda Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 After get on the Ebon Hawk and Atris talks with the handmaidens. I get a black screen. I can exit and look at every other screen: the inventory, equipped items, all that stuff. But the mapall white where the map would be and the main screen is all black. I have quite a few savegames before the bug and I tried with all of them to get into the ebon hawk and everytime I ended up with the black screen. When I save the game at that point it won't load that savegame, it is corrupt. I have a Nvidia gforce 7900 gtx but I don't believe it is videocard related since I saw on these boards that people on Xbox and with Ati cards experienced the same problem, so I think it is a game glitch. Like in these 2 closed threads: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=164584 http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=153230 I'm sorry for asking again, but in these threads there still isn't any satisfying answer. Does anyone know already? I'm not running any mods or cheats, I have the latest patch. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anakin Skywalker Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 hmm.......... Interesting.... It probably is a glitch....... are you sure it is the latest patch? I've had this happen, but I saved and loaded and I could play again.... btw Welcome to the Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anakin Skywalker Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 hmm....... it could possibly be your settings......... turn off Grass, shadows, movies, enable V-Sync (if you haven't already) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Kitty Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 What it's acting like, though with no mods etc it doesn't make a whole lot of sense... is when you have a bad / corrupt module. I've had the same thing happen to me when I've tried to use the module editor and done something wrong re-building the thing to a compiled state. It loads and plays, but it's all black. You can hear sounds and access menus, but that's it. Might try backing up your savegames and just completely uninstall/reinstall if playing with settings as Anakin suggested doesn't help. Then if it is some sort of file corruption it should be solved, though bear in mind that if all the saves you have contain the area information that's "bad", any save you load may well contain the problem, so a new game might also be required. -Kitt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanda Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 But I did all that I turned off Grass, Shadows, movies, enable V-Sync. Uninstalled and reinstalled the game and ran the updates again and tried all different settings again. Then I still get a blackscreen when I go into the ebon hawk and still can't load the savegame saved at the blackscreen. Since I heard that usually some script with a handmaiden starts when you enter the ebonhawk upon leaving the hidden jedi acedemy, my guess is I did something wrong in the previous steps? I did start the battles with the handmaidens for example, but I didn't finish the final fight with the 5 handmaidens for example, I tried but they were too hard to beat. Maybe that corrupted things?
