Arena help: black screen

Post » Sun Sep 27, 2009 4:57 am

I have searched for this problem and I can not find another topic on this.

I downloaded Arena and dosbox.

When I get through character creation and get to the first dungeon, I am faced with a blank screen that will draw and i move my mouse around the whole screen. That is fine but then every time I go to Inventory screen or the mouse screen or back to the regular screen, it is blank again.

Has anyone seen this problem before.

Thanks so much for any help.

Try these changes:


fullresolution=1680x1050 (or whatever your max res is).
aspect=true
output=openglnb

Cycles should be at 15,000-17,000 (not the 3000 default)

Try giving more memory to the dosbox too.
It starts at 16MB
Set it for 32MB or 64MB and it works a little smoother (It did for me ... I think).
