Re: PvZ Garden Warfare stuck at black screen when loading

Operating System: Windows 8.1 64-bit

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3635QM CPU @ 2.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.4GHz

Memory: 8192MB RAM

DirectX Version: DirectX 11

If im missing anything just say and i'll try to share it

Changed to borderless and windowed and tried to play with both, same error on garden ops and mutiplayer still doesnt work

I dont really know how to work with dxdiag or what is does so i cant tell much , but if you want me to see something there i can see if i can find it

No, it doesnt crash ( at least from what i've tried to play), i even opened some packs to see if it was all ok and it was

Go to the display section.

Want to know what the Device Name is as well as Driver's date.

You may have multiple entries  (i.e. one for Intel HD4000 and another for a dedicated nvidia card)

Device name: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000

Driver's date: 4/10/2013  00:42:48

I dont see any more of these, not even nvidia.

"Mood Forecast" = Unhappiness

In your OP you said "set default driver of the game to nvidia."  What did you mean by this?

Try updating your Intel Drivers:

If it refuses to update them because it says "use manufacture drivers" we can try to get around that by completely uninstalling, forcing the generic VGA driver and installing Intel's after.

The loading problem is fixed ( thanks ) but i still cant play garden ops cause of that stupid error

Garden Ops is hosted by Players.  Because of that is is flakey at best.

Only thing you can do is ensure your ports are forwarded and hope the host has his forwarded and has decent internet.

Hosting will be your best bet.

This can be used to check the ports are done correctly:

The webbased port checkers don't work like that one.

Is there any way that i can see if i have the ports correct without that program?

Cause every time i try to open it , it just stops responding

Maybe this?

The problem with online port checkers is they assume you are "listening" on that port to begin with.  I haven't dug around but my guess is PvZ doesn't listen to all those ports all the time.  I suppose 'netstat -a -n' would tell us the answer but I can't test right now.

They also can't test UDP because UDP doesn't have any handshaking going on.  It'd be safe to assume though if you forward TCP/UDP and TCP is reported working, UDP should be too unless a firewall or something on the computer.

I'd try running that program as Administrator or possible Compatibility settings... dunno, honestly I've never used it.

I tried the program with administrator rights and still didnt respond

I tried the online one but the PvZ ports are UDP right? So how can i check them? I tried anyways but it only let me check one (3659), and it timed out.

Tried to make my firewall allow PvZ in public but still didnt work

Im getting the same problem. Please help
