Black Screen on Start Up (SOLUTION)

If the game won't even load for you, and you get an error then you probably have to change your resolution in the pref.ini file in your documents folder, under My Games > GTB. It auto selected an improper resolution for me, so a manual change was the only fix.

I found this only worked if I ran the game in windowed mode, regardless of resolution. This seems like a strange problem as the non-steam version of this game runs just fine in fullscreen mode.

cant find either the pref.ini file or the documents folder at all, reinstalling wont work, manually starting the game from the steam folder i only get a exe error, a dll file is missing when its not missing apparently

Sigh. It is not "SOLVED" if you DO NOT PROVIDE THE BLOODY SOLUTION.

What you need to do is to go to your documents folder. There should be 'my games' sub-folder and then look for folder named after this game. There you should look for 'prefs' file. Open up and change resolution which your monitor uses.
