There is a registry fix for that, just google for "Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered"

I have this error often with CoD and ArmA II

I tired that register editing and sill no go. It is not working.

Well, since the last alpha/beta I also got the black screen with small red rectangle at startup that disappears after a while and then I get the Ubisoft logo. Everything works just fine in game etc. I thought it was some new 1C splash screen etc that had been missed in the latest build?

Anyway - no problems in game otherwise and the mini fix did not change it...

Running a 580GTX with the latest GeForce 301.24 Driver BETA


EDIT: Vote for the black screen with red rectangle at startup in the bugtracker:

ive got mine working lads:

like everyone i was getting black squares where map & planes should of been, then game would crash if i tried to start mission.....

First i added this to registry:

Start - Run
regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\GraphicsDrivers
Edit - New - DWord
Name = TdrDelay
Value Data = 12

then;

I Got rid of the opening ubisoft splash screen

In your Steam folder, go to "SteamApps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\parts\core\GUI". Rename "Logo.wmv" to any random name and it wont appear anymore


Good luck, i hope it works for you all having this problem.

If you run regedit then navigate to that folder. Then click edit > new > Dword (32 bit) Value. That will a new entry rename it to TdrDelay double click on it and change the number to 12. close regedit, job done.

More explanation of what it does has been put on this thread by someone:

I didnt come up with this it is from the techincal threads post by luther last year so i think it should be fine:

Nice! It does work for me! I use 64bit OS but I guess I have to use DWord because the game is based on 32bit. Anyway it works now. Thanks!

Confirm for me if you would, this was to get rid of the black screen when you click "fly" to enter a mission?

guys, I'm doing this installation for a friend of mine on his iMac with a Windows 7 64bit partition.

The video card is an NVIDIA GeForce 8800GS, and the symptoms are the same of many other here: red square, then game loads, but when starting it it goes back to desktop and you can hear the sim going.. if you press ESC it goes back to the options screen, but that's it.

Video drivers are the latest 296.10 and the game version is the latest with the fix. I've tried the regedit fix but it didn't work.

A thing I've noticed is that it doesn't even show you the planes in 3d on the plane selection menu, there's just a black box in its place.

What I'm trying to do now is reinstalling the game and seeing whether it works fine in its original version, but needless to say any input is appreciated.

It's kinda embarassing cos I talked about this sim to this friend of mine and he was so enthusiastic about it, but now I can't make it work on his machine and it's just so frustrating

I know it works on other iMacs (with an ATI card though), so I was wondering whether it's related to drivers?
