OK. This is currently investigated by the Studio.

Re: Black screen on CAS

OK. thanks. Let me get that info from the other user too then.

 

Yours says graphic card not found so that might be an indication. Your husbands one is ok.

I have no problems with any other Origin games.

Re: Black screen on CAS

The card should handle this demo. I can handle it with my many years old test laptop.

 

Try reinstalling your graphics drivers.

I just reinstalled my video drivers and the issue has not be resolved. The config.log file still shows that their was no database found for my video card. It is beginning to sound like the program is having a problem identifying the AMD video cards.

Re: Black screen on CAS

Let's wait for the config.log of the other user with the same issue.

 

I tried the demo on my Windows 8 tablet and it doesn't have a recognized card either, yet it works so I don't know.

Good Luck
