Game not working - Screen Blinking Bug

[Bushido]

Hello, i won this game on steamgifts developer giveaway. really want to try it, but I cant run it.

Everything my screen is doing after game launch is blinking (black-white-black-white...). I can hear music and if i hit space something happens, so game is running.

Does anyone encountered the same problem and have a solution for this?

Regards

no, I haven't, but you may just need to run it in windowed mode.  your moniter might not be able to handle whatever the default resolution is.  You can set  the game to open in windowed mode through the prefferences option when right clicking.  Just go to the General tab, click Set Launch Options, and...well, I forget what exactly you need to type to get it launching in windowed without using the in game options, but then again, that's why we have google! :P
Anyway, try setting launch options like that, and if you manage to see the game in windowed mode, then make sure to set the in game options to run windowed and reset the launch options from outside the game.

If this doesn't fix it, try also setting the resolution in the launch options.  if that doesn't work, then I got nothing. :P

Heya. We've never seen a bug like this. Here's some questions:

• What version of Windows are you running?
• Are you using non-US regional or language settings in Windows? If so, what country?
• What type of graphics card and cpu do you have?
• Did XNA 4 install?

Also, try verify your gamecache is not corrupted. In the library right-click the game. Then select Properties >> Local Files >> Verify Integrity of Game Cache

Windows 7 Polish Language.

Geforce 8800gts, AMD 5k+ dual core.

Latest XNA installer.

I have 22 inch monitor.

Game got verified hundreds of times, nothing got corrupted. 

Even after patch i cant run this game. :(

What resolution is your desktop Bushido? I will try running it under Polish regional settings tonight, to see if that has anything to do with the problem.

1920x1080 

other people from poland got this game working by alt-tab combination, but not on my computer. :(

Hmm that is strange. In Steam, did you try verify game game cache? Right-click the game, select “Properties.” Under the “Local Files” tab, hit “Verify Game Cache.”

Two files got corrupted, but its not workng after redownload either. :/

I have this game on other partition than steam (Steam is F:, GameLibrary is E:), maybe it can be problem?

[Evolutionary Games]

It could be. Maybe try switching partition? Maybe Steam doesn't like files on a different partition for some reason?

[Bushido]

Tried that :/ same on every partition :/
