Black Screen - video crashes?

[Jerri]

So I've been having this intermittent problem for a while. Game is running fine, and all of a sudden a black screen. You can hear the game is still running, but it's as if the video driver has stopped or something. There are certain spots around Norrath that are definately worse than others.

Alt + Enter works to fix this maybe 1/10, most of the times it just results in the game crashing.

I read somewhere that it was maybe the difference between game resolution and your desktop resolution? Also maybe using WinEQ?

My setup is as follows:
Windows 10
Geforce RTX 2080 Super
Compatability mode set to WinXP SP3
Window mode 1920 x 1080

So until such time as custom ui's are allowed on green, we just have to put up with it?

Have you tried using either dgvoodoo2 or wined2d4win? Newer graphics cards aren't detected properly by the client, and don't usually play nice with the relatively ancient version of direct3d the game uses.
