Title: 'Main Hall Mask' screen does not load after installing RC1 - 3.6.12
Post by: SajidaKajada on May 15, 2010, 12:11:32 am

After following the instructions & installing all the necessary components of  RC1 - 3.6.12 I am able to get the startup screens and create a pilot but the main menu is just a "black screen of death" with the Inferno Build text at the bottom with only the option to exit the game. The game then crashes and I get the following errors below......


Could not load in main hall mask 'MainScreen-M'!

(This error most likely means that you are missing required 640x480 interface art.)

I haven't much experience in installing mods so I am lost at this point, gah I hate being a n00b!!  :ick:

Are you using a particular mod?

I've gone by everything from these two forum pages using the 3.6.12 Inferno Build

So you're trying to start Blue Planet?

Just turn up the resolution in the launcher. Problem will be fixed.

No problem. I'd suggest upping the resolution to the maximum appropriate for your screen's aspect ratio, assuming your card can handle it.
