hmmm did you try hitting esc?
Increasing the brightness on your screen?
Just one server or do you get this on all servers you try?
Please also post your system specs....CPU/Mobo/Vid/Sound/Ram

OK I'm confused..everything else works ok??
I really need those system specs.
Do you get the loading down across the bottom of your screen or not even that?
If you get loading does it go to the connecting screen and then blank?

check it...

push alt-enter to minimize into a window...

push alt-enter again to bring it back to full screen, this is how I fixed that problem, you might have to do it more then once, but I don't know exactly what the problem is :)

[edit]bleh, to late I guess :D

YES, post your system, it might have something to do with you video card, and the driver your trying to use to run the game... ok:

A.what kind of video card do you have?

B.what driver are you using for UT?[/edit]

You said it's fine in safe mode? That means something is most likely wrong with your video or sound card. It could be as simple as corrupt drivers or a loose cable. Have you changed anything lately?
