# White Screen on Launch

## White Screen on Launch

Use this page when the client opens to a blank white screen.

### What usually causes this

* Incompatible client compatibility settings
* Graphics renderer conflicts
* Outdated or unstable graphics drivers
* Corrupted client files or blocked game processes

### Fix order

Start with compatibility and graphics settings first.

If that does not work, update drivers and check security software.

### Reset compatibility settings

1. Right-click `LokaRevo.exe`.
2. Click **Properties**.
3. Open the **Compatibility** tab.
4. Enable **Run this program in compatibility mode for:**.
5. Select **Windows 7**.
6. Enable **Run this program as an administrator**.
7. Click **Apply**.
8. Click **OK**.
9. Launch `LokaRevo.exe` again.

### Adjust graphics settings

The white screen often comes from a renderer conflict.

1. Open the game folder.
2. Right-click `Setup.exe`.
3. Click **Run as administrator**.
4. In **Graphics API**, select another renderer such as `DirectX 7`.
5. In **Graphics Device**, select your installed VGA or active display device.
6. Set the screen resolution to `1024x768x32`.
7. Disable advanced options such as **Lightmap** and **Fog**.
8. Click **Apply**.
9. Click **OK**.
10. Launch `LokaRevo.exe` again.

### Check your VGA name

If you are not sure which graphics device to choose:

1. Open **Start**.
2. Search for `dxdiag`.
3. Open the app.
4. Go to the **Display** tab.
5. Check the device name.

### Update graphics drivers

Outdated drivers often cause display issues.

1. Visit the official site for your GPU vendor.
2. Download the latest driver for your Windows version.
3. Install the driver.
4. Restart your PC.
5. Launch the client again.

Common vendors:

* NVIDIA
* AMD
* Intel

{% hint style="info" %}
If the issue started after a driver change, try a stable driver version instead of the newest one.
{% endhint %}

### Other fixes

#### Restart Windows Explorer

Use this if you only see a cursor on a white screen.

1. Press `Ctrl + Shift + Esc`.
2. Open **Task Manager**.
3. Find **Windows Explorer** in **Processes**.
4. Right-click it.
5. Click **Restart**.

#### Check antivirus or firewall

Security software can interfere with the client.

* Temporarily disable antivirus or firewall
* Add the game folder and executables to the allow list
* Launch the client again

#### Reinstall the client

If nothing else works, reinstall from a fresh full client.

1. Remove the current client folder.
2. Download the newest full client.
3. Extract it into a clean folder.
4. Run the patcher.
5. Launch the game after patching finishes.
