Theater view won't work
« on: September 10, 2018, 12:13:00 pm »
Maybe I overlooked this topic, but MC 24.0.45 Theater View is not working. If I try to open the Theater view page it opens completely black and it remains like that. No standard back ground, no buttons. By double clicking ESC I can leave the page.

I deleted MC24 and downloaded it again. Same result.

No problems in MC23 and previous versions.

Hope you can help. Thanks

You might need to update your graphics drivers.

Yeah, depending how old your GPU/onboard graphics are, updating your graphics drivers to the latest would likely help a lot. MC uses OpenGL for Theater View now whereas the D3D Theater View is marked as legacy and is due to be removed eventually. So that D3D Theater View option/workaround won't be around forever... just something to consider and think about. But I would highly recommend updating video drivers just in case newer drivers allow the OpenGL Theater View to work.
