I just opened my copy of DF, and nothing loads. It's just a black screen. What do I do?

Sounds like your tile set might be messed up. Press up once on the keyboard and then enter, should Quit the game (either that or it's frozen or something... then use the Task Manager to force quit).

Then make sure your tileset is in the right place & isn't mistyped in the init. If it's a crash instead, I'm not entirely sure what to do. Guess it would depend on what type of crash and when it occured, but since it occurs at opening, it probably is something wrong with the init.

Alright, attempting to fix now.

Did it work?

The only times I ever get a black screen like that is if i put the name of the tileset wrong, or the tileset was a .png instead of a .bmp (.png can't be used yet without the 40d# graphics merge).

I found the problem. It was a typo in the init.txt
