A couple weeks ago my antivirus prevented CoH from launching, even though it's worked fine for over a year (no antivirus change, computer change, etc.). After adding it to my safe list, eventually I was able to launch the game but the login screen was completely black even though I could hear the sound. I could hear the keyboard stokes too, so if I was able to log in blind, I'm not sure if the rest of the game would be black too. This was even after I removed all CoH/Tequila files including from the registry and reinstalling numerous times. I installed the beta version today (very easy to do except for the antivirus thing that's been mentioned, and it looks great!) but the same issue happens even when I selected "Reset graphics settings on next run". I haven't found anything that works anywhere; there were one or two mentions of a black screen but nothing helped. The only thing I saw in the TequilaActivityLog after reinstalling every time was that "http://repo.cohtitan.com/icon/icon.exe" always failed to download. I'm not sure why it would cause an issue for the beta launcher if Tequila isn't being used, but obviously I'm missing something.
Never mind. It turned out I needed to disconnect all my monitors to just the laptop's, then it showed up. I was able to reconnect the others and it works fine now.
