Black screen / screen freezing
Hello,

Since a long time I came back and wanted to play LFS again.

Downloaded, tried to run but I had a black screen and I could hear the introduction going. I tried to minimize the game and open it up again, I had one frame of the game but it instantly froze again on that frame while I could hear the introduction still going. Basically I'm trying to say, the game doesn't visually load.

I'm running
AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX with Radeon Graphic 32GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU

This is as detailed as possible as I can describe it, is there anyone who could have an idea what is wrong?
Normally I never have any issue with games.

Thank you in advance

EDIT:
Restored BIOS options to default
Downloaded latest Nvidia drivers
Checked 'dxdiag' in cmd center for problems (none)
Tried to remove cfg.txt from LFS folder and restart
Tried to run it compatibility mode (suggested by troubleshooting)

Nothing worked so far
** Best answer **
Have you tried "Start Windowed 1" in cfg.txt?

You should find that on the second line. With that, it should try to run in a window. I'm wondering if there's something up with D3D9 in exclusive mode on your computer.

If that does solve it, you might try full screen window with SHIFT+F11.
