Hi, when I tried to follow the instructions on the "Marble Blast: Happy Roll" readme to install this mod, I failed and since then, I got a black screen when I opened MBG. I'm now using the new Windows 10 Home Edition.

Which screen goes blank? Does the Garage Games logo screen show, and then the black? Did you see the Monster Studios screen? Or is it black for the entire time?

My suspision is that you don't have the ignitionstatus.gui.gui file (something like that) in your marble/client/ui directory. Check to see if you have that. If you don't, then that's most likely your problem. If it is there, I'm not reslly sure what else to say.

There is the usual scolution. Copy and Paste your Console.log here in a spoiler or something.

I put the ignitionstatusgui.gui file into the marble/client/ui but the screen stays black the entire time after I opened it. Well, that's OK because I will uninstall MBG in favor of MBGPU.

Just a thought, but perhaps during the installation your default graphics driver was modified? I know Windows 10 is notorious for attempting to install drivers that it thinks you should have instead of installing the ones you actually need.

If you haven't uninstalled MBG yet, and you see D3D as your display device in Prefs.cs, try changing this to OpenGL. The example below transitions from Direct3D to OpenGL:

Change:
Code:
$pref::Video::displayDevice = "D3D";
To:
Code:
$pref::Video::displayDevice = "OpenGL";

If you've already found a workaround, let me know and I can close this topic.

I said I've already uninstalled MBG in favor of MBGPU, so this topic should be closed without further notice.
