Tally Ho, there were also people on the Big Fish Fans page experiencing the same thing with this game, namely a black screen with audio. Various Do/Domini Games have presented players with this problem over the last few years and I am surprised that they have not fixed this by now. Oldbroad and TLC both experience this with some of their games. On the surface this sounds like a video card/video driver specific issue, but of course I can't say this with certainty. It's annoying, for sure. The solution at this point is probably to have two different computers with different system specs and different video cards, but of course it's not always feasible to have this kind of set-up. It's this kind of thing, though, that has always prompted me to try to have two computers around.

I just googled "Domini games black screen with audio" and was shown a number of what sounded like good suggestions to troubleshoot/fix this issue. It might be worth taking a look if you are ever in the mood.

If you have access to Windows 7 it will play there, though I believe it is a video card issue not a OS issue. (My opinion!)

I tried multiple possible fixes, nothing worked. This is a fairly new computer running Windows 11.

So I went to my 65" TV, which has an even newer computer attached, and installed the game. It runs normally; so it must be the on-board video that makes a difference.

Thanks for the help!

I absolutely agree. It is almost assuredly not an operating system issue.

Anyway, Tally Ho, I'm glad you figured out a way to get the game working. Hopefully the other "problem children" will run this way as well.

I started the game Royal Trouble tonight. It's pretty fun so far!

That was a good game, ob. The sequel was also good, as I recall.

I started Missing Hearts: Crimson Cruise yesterday.

I have the sequel also, Marian!

Enjoy your Domini game!

Thank you, ob. I am enjoying it.

And I figured you had the sequel.
