This seems to be a pretty common problem. I’ve tried deleting local.dat and repairing my file. I’ve updated Windows, Direct X and my drivers. Every time I press play after I log in, my screen turns black. I can still see my cursor but have to ctrl alt del to exit.

I’m running on an Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics, so that may have something to do with it.

Please Help!

Try fullscreen windowed mode?

How do I change the settings without entering the game?
