The Solution! (Maybe)
Yeah, It needs a very powerful computer... And I'm just below this line:
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 2.6 GHz
RAM: 512MB of RAM
ATI(R) Mobility Radeon(TM) 9200 128MB
The Black Screen problem happened in my case, because my video card lacks hardware support for Pixel Shading and things alike (Can't really tell, not a pro on this).
To Fix this and run the game almost perfectly (There were some transparency problems and some black textures, but nothing that ruins the gameplay! ), I used the program 3d-Analyse v2.36b (Search in google) with only the following boxes checked:
Hardware Limits (cap bits)
* emulate HW TnL caps
* emulate pixel shader caps
Performance
* disable lighting (Without this I would see white squares around flames. You should try without it first.)
3d-Analyse emulates the hardware features the game requires using your CPU. It will make the game runs a bit slow, so you better set it with minimum graphics... Well, It's better than not playing it :-).
Hope it will help someone!
