  • 1. Your shift seemed to be locked :P
    2. The problem is hard to solve and in most cases not really fixable if you use win7


    But you could try the following stuff:
    1. Try the Pink-Bug Fix --> LINK
    2. If possible disable all features in your graficcardsettings for Siege of Avalon
    3. If possible set the colour depth to 16bit


    Sometimes it helps, but that depends hardly on your hardware.
    Newer PCs always have unfixable problems with Siege of Avalon, so maybe
    it could be a solution to use a VM with older Windows (98/XP recommend)


    Edit: I merged both topics because it is the same problem

    how do i disable all features for soA in grafics card?


    If you use a Nvidia Card it can be found there:
    1. Double click Control Panel on your desktop
    2. Open Nvidia Control Panel
    3. Open the 3D Settings
    3a. Click on Manage 3D Settings
    3b. Go to the Program Setting Tab
    (it looks like THIS )
    3c. Manually add the Siege of Avalon Exe-File
    3d. Disable anything in the Settings for Siege of Avalon
    4. Pray ;)
    5. Start the game


    With an ATI-Card I have no idea, maybe another user can help there.
    Last hint for Win8 users, right click the Siege.exe and use the reduced colour mode
    with 16bit and try WinXp Servicepack 2 (two is important, not three!) as compatibility mode.

    and what does my shift seems to be locked mean?


    It means that your shift key was pushed all the time and using capital letters all the time
    is hard to read and annoying.

  • Nearly anthing of this must be disabled:
    - Anisotropic filtering
    - Shadersettings
    - Antialiasing (transparency/Gammacorrection/...)
    - Texturefiltering (Negative LOD/Trillinear Optimation/...)
    - colour depth if possible (16bit)


    It is a try & error thing..so you could test different settings especially
    at the Texturefilters....maybe something there works for you.


    Real problem with the blackscreenbug is that there is no way
    to fix it every time. But good luck :)

    Your problem is pretty common under Win7. As Hades said already, please try to install the pink-bug-fix, it might help with your problem.


    You can try to edit the siege.ini and change the parameter from "UseVdieo" from false to true or otherwise round.


    Another possibility is to install the Siege Patch 1.4 which is availiable here:


    https://docs.google.com/uc?exp…q5MK_4wr0sUEc5TWZKS2o0Rm8


    Also: Pleas install Siege of Avalon not onto a different partition than windows OR always run it as admin.
