Hi all,

I have a Win10 computer with a Gforce 1070 grafics card. At the moment I have no internet connection with that computer. But that should not affect my problem I hope, since my games are single player/offline games anyway( point and clicks, like blackwell, myst, etc.)

Anyway, whenever I start ANY game, I get the sounds, but zero graphics :( black screen only. I also tried starting them up out of the games directory without launching galaxy. Same result.
Changing compatibility mode did not help either.

Any other suggestions?
Thanks heaps!

Adding to the above suggestion you could:

Uninstall your current Drivers
Clean any left over files using DDU Display Driver Uninstaller
And Install a fresh copy from the Nvidia website

The 1070 has a known issue where when certain programs are launched, it starts with a black screen. You can try a few things to fix this, but the easiest thing is trying to run the game(s) in a window to start, and then after they start, you should be able to set them to fullscreen.

I believe the command to add is "windowed"

Good luck!

Interesting - hadn't heard about the 1070 having the problem. I'll keep this one in mind.

This is a long shot, but any chance you inadvertently activated 2-screen mode without a 2nd screen attached? Maybe the games are playing on a nonexistent 2nd screen. Had that once on the laptop.

Update the video driver, get the installer from the link posted above. If it's a laptop, check if they are actually running on the nvidia GPU and not on the Intel integrated GPU. That Nvidia Optimus can be a pain sometimes.

For windowed mode, look on PCGamingWiki for your games.

in addition to the above recomendations. for troubleshooting set V-sync to program/application controlled,in the Nvidia control panel, under 3d settings, then do a set up for one of the games that your having issues with and disable V-sync. windows 10 seems to get more broke the more they update it, and this is one of the recent documented issues.

This is news to me as well. I've got a 1070 in my Win10 rig as well, but have never run into this.

I'm almost positive this is in the list of known issues in the release notes. I know I saw it somewhere, as you know I don't spout of random bits without some basis of reality.

EDIT: If I am mistaken I apologize. I thought for sure this was an issue with the 1070, though.

No, no worries. As noted, I haven't had an issue, so I wouldn't have any reason to be aware of it.
