Beat Hazard currently not working with 3DVision steam version - black screen
Just wanted to post/warn about Beat Hazard

Bought game, hoping it would be a great budget buy to play in 3D - but doesn't seem to work

initially game would load and crash instantly, I fixed this by turning off vision, reload game and enabling vsync, quit game, re-enable vision and back to game

this enabled the game to load fine, full access to menu, but once starting a game after 1 second the screen goes black, yet the game is clearly still running in background.

Looking at Cold Beam's forum, some people are experiencing this black screen issue, whom aren't using vision - so I guess theirs hope vision will woek once they have fixed this problem

alt tabbing in & out of game made no difference, did try a quick exe rename, but then steam refused to let me run the game ?

I have the game as well and it runs fine in 3d here. No idea what could be causing the problem at your side, but it isn't 3dvision by itself.

Excellent - A few question's if you'd be so kind.

is this the steam version of the game your running?

Which windows and 32 or 63 bit?

what nvidia drivers are you using?

thankyou

I'm running the steam version, just like you. Also I'm using Win7 64 bit (of course, since 8GB ram would be useless otherwise). Driverwise I'm using the 1.25 3d vision cd drivers (forceware 197.45) atm.


EDIT: Actually I just tried the game again and now it's doing the black screening here as well, whereas it worked perfectly last friday or so. I have no clue what is different, haven't even rebooted the computer since then. I'll try some things...

Beat Hazard has been patched so it now allows you to select the screen resolution ingame - unfortunatly this doesn't fix the black/blank screen problem when vision is enabled.
