==Black Screen Fix==

This will turn off portions of the graphics engine that cause the error. If your game looks like this. Follow the below steps.

* Launch game
* Log In!

* Enter World
====Go to settings====

====Click on Special type in "MacHack"====
In the Special Settings box type in "MacHack" and then click Save.
<div style="overflow: hidden">[[File:machack_special_settings.jpg|677px]]
====Play game!====
Most people report they do not need to relaunch the game, but if you have entered everything as above and it has not fixed your problem start by completely exiting the game and logging back in.
==Other Known Black Screen Causes==
One other problem is know to cause the Black screen, it is caused by loading an out of date configuration file. This black screen will not even allow you to see the login button on the intro screen. If your screen looks like this. Follow the steps below.
<div style="overflow: hidden">[[File:blackscreen_login.jpg|400px]]
====Open the settings folder====
In your windows explorer bar type in. (Or copy paste)
<div style="overflow: hidden">[[File:blackscreen_exlorer_bar.jpg|400px]]
"%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Elder Game\Project Gorgon"
====Backup the settings file====
Make sure you have exited Project Gorgon and are in the above folder.
The folder will look something like.
<div style="overflow: hidden">[[File:blackscreen_settings_file.jpg|228px]]
The file you should move/rename is "GorgonSettings.txt" rename it to something like "GorgonSettingsOld.txt"
(If your folder just shows "GorgonSettings" this is the same file, you just have extensions hidden)
====Relaunch the game====
When you launch the game again it will rebuild your settings back to default, and you should now be able to play the game.
