Black Screen on various routes

Post by Steggars »

Unsure what's caused this but anything other than Simvliet is black screened for me and I can only just see the Dashboard and the Destination boards. Any helps appreciated :(

It appears that these black screens only occur within the tunnels and doing my research I reckon its because of my PC Specs:

Processor Information:
CPU Vendor: AuthenticAMD
CPU Brand: AMD A4-6300 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics

There are some known bugs with the AMD graphics cards. They don't show lights the right way. That causes the problems in tunnels and at nicht. You can't do anything about it at this point. It looks like newer models don't have this problem.

Actually, there is a way to get around this problem.
So the the Metrosimulator setup screen, and set "dynamic lighting" to "off".
That way, you always have daylight, also in the tunnels. This should allow you to drive everywhere. ;)

How to find it;

Method 1: Start -> programs -> Metro Simulator Setup

Method 2: Go to C:\Users\ USERNAME \AppData\Local\MetroSimulator. Delete all contents, then restart Metrosimulator (the setup screen will then appear before the simulator itself starts).
