Please post a dxdiag so we can take a look at your hardware and driver setups. Use the link in my sig below if you're not sure how to do a dxdiag.

I open the game but right when I click the start button, it shows up a blank black screen. It worked fine yesterday, how do I fix this ?

For your issue specifically... you might need to update your graphics card drivers. You should be able to find those on the AMD website.

Your specific graphics card would now be considered to have legacy drivers.

If that does not work, I am going to say that you might be experiencing a mixture of not-meeting the system requirements or a corrupt patch.

just a hunch..humor me. delete the hidden folder in your my documents folder and try it. if that doesnt work just cut the addons folder out and paste it somewhere harmless.

happened to me when i did some addon coding obliterated on wild turkey and hooker spit

From what i have read on google and the forums it seems that anyone with an older amd cpu or a geforce 5xxx,6xxx, or 7xxx card or some older ati cards are probably going to be out of luck with the game. I have an emachines with a amd 3200+ 2.0 ghz 2gb ram and 512mb geforce 7600gs agp and after patch 4 i cant play anymore just crashes after game start. i would post my dxdiag and other info but i feel its useless to do so as from what i have read they are just going to say the games requirements have changed and leave us people who cant afford to upgrade computers in the cold. dont get me wrong i have another computer that still runs it just fine with no trouble but it is tied up and cant be used for gaming. Ive played on this pc for about 3 months now with no trouble. yeah i know it 'just' meets the requirements cpu wise but it ran fine and i can say from experience that while a 2ghz p4 is what they say the min. is, if you have the ram and decent video card it will run playable (pve anyway, not a pvper) on a 1.6ghz celeron as my other pc used to run this cpu but has been upgraded to a e2200 pentium dual core. at any point if they fix this issue then horray if not then ohhh well.....Allods online runs fine on here still so im off to level my bard on there. See ya when i see ya runes.

0.95 year old problem. Known problem (check EU forums). Still no resolution. Still no promise for fix. Symptom: day before chapter 4 release (i.e. chapter version 3.xxx) it worked fine. day after chapter 4 release, it crashed.

Seems to be related to ALL agp cards, even the top end end-of-life $400-$600 cards, although Frogster EU won't admit as much.

OP, if it worked fine yesterday, but won't work today, the most likely suspects are either system update or corruption. I presume there was no update of system components during the period from working to not working, right? Things like DirectX update or windows update can go astray.

If not, likely one of the files in ROM itself got corrupted. Reapplying the latest patch sometimes fixes it (check manual update patch thread for details), but not very often. Pazuzzu's suggestions also worth trying. Otherwise, it likely will call for reinstall, sorry to say.
