My game has been working fine, and then all of the sudden when i go to start it, the screen stays black but the sound will play. I have updated drivers, I have done a suggestion where you go into the game settings documents and change the directX version value back to "1" instead of "2", and that worked for awhile and it started back again. I have changed the direct x versions back and forth and still nothing. Any suggestions?

Reinstall your game.

I just had to do that last week. Everything was running fine until yesterday. But here is something I just discovered. When I launch the game through steam, no issues. Then I will launch through Rage and it will work fine. But if I launch straight through rage it will come up with a black screen like i stated originally. Idk.

What did you change yesterday?  What did you add or modify?

Nothing. I played it earlier that day with no problems, and then later it started screwing up. I changed the dxversion and that worked for a while and then started doing it again. So on a whim I just wanted to see if it would start up through steam and it did fine. Closed it out, tried it through rage again and it worked.
