Issues fixed

Temporary switch to desktop or black screen when loading

Invisible War temporarily shows the desktop or a black screen prior to the loading screen. The game will still work normally but the transition can be annoying. To fix this do the following:

  • Windows Vista and 7: open the compatibility settings for dx2.exe and set Disable Desktop Composition.
  • Windows 8: Desktop Composition cannot be disabled; there is currently no other known fix.

Game only shows black screen

If Google Chrome is running in the background, the game will not load and only show a black screen after loading a game. To fix it you need to manually kill chrome.exe using the Task Manager.
