black screen

[christhemad]

hey i found this for my droid anyway it dont work on there so i downloaded it for my computer as i love xcom type games. well i installed it fine and played it the menu comes up fine and ingame the hud comes up fine but theres no world map or anything and when i click on the create base the base shows up fine were you can build and all. i also tryed the sirmish mission and it does the same thing hud shows up fine but the map is just black. i just downloaded it today using the top files for downloading for windows so they should be the newest i would think. anyway im on windows xp pro sp 3 with 2.0 gig single core 1 gig ram 290 gig hard drives total and an ati 9600 all in wounder pro video card. given that i can play c&c4 on here i dont think video card is the problem. so any help would be great

Welcome to the forums. Check this page for instructions on where to find your ufoconsole.log and attach it here.

Try to disable shaders -- 9600 is an old card and is very likely to have problems with the GPU features we are using.

is that ingame or how do i do the shader im checking the link there to find that info and will post it in just a few mins when i find it

It looks like you've not installed any drivers for your graphics card since you installed windows !
As AMD have stopped updating drivers for your card, the most recent you can get is probably this one.
