One other question about your machine Susa'n, what resolution (h x w in pixels) is your screen?

_R

1920 x 1080 (recommended resolution for my HP 2511 Series Wide LCD Monitor).

Rarified -- You are brilliant! After switching Graphics Settings from 1280x720 (16:9) to 1920x1080 (16:9), MOULa (and WhoM) work fine. And so the 1280x720 setting that worked with old build no longer works with new build.

Thank you so much for all your help. At minimum, I owe you a Bahro burger meal available at the tent in Tokotah courtyard.

FYI, on Windows 10 the "normal" DirectX 9 installer (linked by Mac_Fife) doesn't work anymore. In that case you need to use the "redistributable" DirectX installer instead: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... px?id=8109

Thanks, this helped me on my Win7, 64b. The other link (normal) did not work.
My resolution is 1600x900 and I haven't changed it.

Ugh. MOULa works fine except when I quit the game, I get a black screen.

Same black sceen here.

But after a while I realised I turned off the computer.

I thought that Susa'n had fixed this by reinstalling physx?

Grape, you simply need to install a slightly newer version of DirectX 9c from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/downloa ... x?id=34429

Thank you very much Mac_Fife!!
I installed DirectX 9.0c that you taught.
Because I did not run only on this, I installed the installer. :wink:

I succeeded in login of MOULa!!

I still get the "black screen of death" whenever I quit MOULa. Then I have to hard-boot my computer, i.e., shut off and reengage the power.

Lyrositor's Skydiving Client does not elicit any black screens.

Using MOULa or SD Client, I've been suffering periodic Net 6es (moreso than before the #131 build) and some other-avatar ghosting (i.e., the explorer quits the game but his KI shows he's online).

WhoM works fine.

Today I logged into TOC-MOUL and received the same black screen when I quit TOC-MOUL.

Yesterday, I downloaded Gehn Shard but received the black screen after the URU Launcher was finished.

I'm using Windows 7 64-bit and AMD Radeon HD 6450 video card with current drivers. Monitor setting and MOULa graphics resolution setting are both 1920x1080 (16:9).

Any suggestions? :?:

Not really a suggestion, more an observation: The most obvious difference between the Skydiving Client and any of the others you mention is that it won't try to patch itself.

Net6s tend to be indicative of network problems. As they can be rather sporadic it may be rather coincidental that they appear to be more frequent since the new build was released. Or perhaps the network issues are a reason (or part of it) for the other problems you're seeing.

I'm afraid there's not really a lot to go on here

Thanks, Mac.
