this wont work there is no config file and i cant find the place where you do the saving and make a config file. Help?

[carlj]

I got the activision animation then black screen again. Help?

[misteraero]

Theres no players folder for me, when do i make a config file

[sanderlifts]

im surprised this worked, thank you so much for the tutorial mate

Hey
this is a message to everyone who this trick didn't work for.

I want to let everyone know that in my case, the cause of the game black screening was that I had too many audio drivers active at the same time.
To disable audio drivers go to control panel and click hardware and sound,
then go to device manager, expand the sound video and game controllers option,
disable a few audio drivers that you don't use.
I ended up being able to use 16 audio drivers at the same time, but if turn on even one more I get the black screen again.
I found this solution from a guy on the steam bo3 discussion pages.

Thank you SO much...also guys if you cant find the configuration folder bc you bought the game through steam there is an option to browse files in steam that will take you to it

[jaffax]

This is only a half fix all this does it switch it to fullscreen windowed which allows the game to run but doesn't fix the fullscreen bug
