Black screen when launching certain teams (not all)

So, these are the premises:
-I have installed IS and ISB on a new computer
-Some of the teams on the new computer launch with just a black screen, still interactable (I see the cursor and I can esc to close the window)
-On the previous computer everything worked great, with the same configuration
-Some teams launch just fine, others do not, although they have the same game configuration

That tends to be a graphics driver issue.

If you are on a laptop, with NVidia gfx, then it could be an Optimus issue, because there are two graphics systems and you need them to both function. You also need to make sure both drivers are up to date.

You also may need to revert a version or two, as some of the latest gfx drivers are not working out too well with multiboxing currently (hopefully a fix will be found shortly). If you have NVidia graphics, my current goto is v359.06. You can try some newer revisions if you so choose.

On the odd occasion, it can be because your ingame settings are not correct. Check to make sure the game is not set to fullscreen. If you have copied your previous ISBoxer profile to your new computer, re-run the Window Layout and create a new layout for your team (don't select an existing one) - you need it to pickup your new monitor settings. If might also be the character settings files. Not sure what could be wrong there, but you could delete the ones created by ISBoxer and let them regenerate.
