Black screen but with working audio

Once starting the game, you may see a black or blank screen but can still hear audio playback. In order to work around this issue you need to use the Task Manager to switch to the correct program.


1. Start the program

2. Click on Configure -> Manage Bottles

3. Select the correct game bottle from the list

4. Click on the Control Panel tab and start the Task Manager

5. Select the running program from the Applications tab and click Switch To


This creates the unfortunate side effect of the works "Task Manager" appearing on the bottom left corner of the screen.


Once you are done running the program the virtual desktop may not quit until you close the Task Manager. In order to quit Task Manager, you can click on the green box in the lower right hand corner and then close the Task Manager window.
