To all the technical smarties

[bjzee1]

hey i sent in a ticket to CSR, but i thought "hey, theres some smart people here on the forums", so i posted it here.

i log on to fiesta, get through the loading screen, then a blank white screen shows up. ive waited numerous hours for it to go away, no avail. tried reinstalling, no avail, restarted computer 27 times now, no avail. whats going on? :eek:

(and GM, CL, CSR, etc. please don't move this post, nobody reads the other sections.)

What are the specs on your computer? Do you meet the recommended ones in the very least?

[oakrivermark]

Well I'm 40 years old and dumber than a post when it comes to computers, but is it possibly due to tonights upcoming maintenaince? I always find that I get more lag and glithyness on maint. night, especially if they may be doing something major, like connecting a new server(not that I'm saying they're connecting the new server tonight).

Myself I would wait and see til tomorrow(after maint.) and probably just chillax with a wobbly pop.

If your computer meets the minimum requirements can you confirm that none of the software you use now has been changed like firewalls or anti-virus programs that may clash with X-Trap?

Beyond that I'm not entirely sure off the top of my head that there could be an issues I could give in-depth information to help with. Outspark would have more information in all likliness in that scenario simply due to the fact that they have a lot of the program info that the user-sided members may not have acquired.

[bjzee1]

well, i looked into my firewall system, and nothing has changed since i last logged on succesfully. EPIC WHITE SCREEN STILL REMAINS D:

[bjzee1]

cant touch this... NAH NAHNAHNAH NAHNAH NAHNAH
bump.

My suggestions:

Clean up some old files, remove unused programs, etc., clear all temp directories, reboot, defrag, reboot. Make sure only the necessary OS and security stuff is running and try again. White screen means the program is locking up somewhere.

a blank white screen shows up

If he can go pass the loading screen and no error pops up, then it shouldn't be a security show. A white screen usually refers to a graphics driver issue. Has this issue occured before? What graphics card model? Have you tried updating it? Also, what is your version of DirectX. I'm not a certified computer tech or anything but that's my advice based off experience :)

[DivineAce]

Can you elaborate? Are you running Windows Vista? If so, you should try Running the program As An Administrator. [To do this, right-click the icon and select 'Run As Administrator' then follow the screens allowing Fiesta to run.] Be sure that the server is up and not experiencing troubles. Make sure your firewall/antivirus isn't blocking Fiesta.

[GSL2007]

Update your graphic card & DirectX to the latest version available and try turning off your antivirus software temporary, By the way, did you just encountered this "white screen" only recently?

[The-Sakura]

I usually only encounter a white screen when my computer is busy loading Fiesta.

Have you tried re-starting?

PS: You automatically run Fiesta as an admin, to Divine Ace

[bjzee1]

restarted a bajillion more times and its working now... how weird. thx for all the advice tho! :)

[Tamlinari]

Well I am not a real technical smarty but I am pretty savvy about troubleshooting.

Honestly, it sounds like it may be your video drivers.
You may want to update those.
