Blackscreen when hosting a coop game

Postby Aulex » 07 Jul 2014, 23:40

Whenever I try hosting a coop game FA launches but I get a blackscreen, I've recently cleared by gamefiles and cache so i suspect this is what caused it.

I just started using FAForever with my dad. We want to play some coop games, but the coop missions seem to be not working at the moment. I get a black screen every time I try to host a game. Has anyone found a solution to this problem yet?

Byron it seems you have a bunch of mods in your game directory:

Wow! That seems to have done the trick. I didn't realize that mods in my original FA folder would affect the FAF version. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out. :D
