Title: Everything black
Post by: Light121 on November 13, 2012, 07:54:27 pm
Okay so I just started to play FH and when I logged in created my animal  everything is black. Whenever I move it's black. And when I look at map I see white and black parts. Nothing but that. What now? D:

Hello and welcome to the Feral Heart community Ena

First off which Feral Heart are you using? The black screen problem sounds more like a problem that is related to Feral Heart+. To fix that problem if you are using Feral Heart+ you can follow this link:
http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=16805.msg225267#msg225267 (http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=16805.msg225267#msg225267)
The thing is I wouldn't suggest that you use Feral Heart+ if that is what you downloaded. Feral Heart+ is not as well managed or updated as the regular Feral Heart and is therefore very buggy & glitchy. Stick to the regular Feral Heart and you will have less headaches. You can find the regular Feral Heart on the download page in fact it's the first download you see at the top.

On the other hand if you are not using Feral Heart+ what type of computer are you using? Did you maybe consider unistalling and reinstalling the game? Also sometimes a simple change in the game's video settings/rendering subsystem can help with the black screen problem. If you can access the main menu click where it says "options" and then video settings. Set your settings as so:
Switch between OpenGL or Direct3D9 rendering subsystem

I hope something here helps. Goodluck

Are you using FeralHeart or FeralHeart+? Assuming you're using FeralHeart, you should try pressing the 'B' key, to open the Biography tab. There, go to 'Home' and first Reset Home, then Go Home. This can happen if your character was left in a custom map which was later deleted. If this doesn't work, try changing rendering systems, as mentioned before. Of course, reinstalling is also an option, though it's usually a last resort to myself. If you see textures missing, then you should do such.

that happened to me when i was first using Feral Heart +. if you are using that one then you need to be at Bonfire for it to really work, but the other maps will be off, so on the regular FH, go to Bonfire, then log out and then on Feral Heart + and it should work. hope that helps
