OpenRA won't start - blank screen

When I attempt to start OpenRA I get a message from the monitor "no signal", and the screen goes black.

This has happened before with Halflife Deathmatch Classic from Steam, and Team fortress classic also from steam.

I don't care about those, I really really want OpenRA and can't find someone else with the same problem

Make sure your drivers are up to date. Download a real package from amd.com rather than using windows update, etc -- otherwise you don't get the GL ICD.

You could also try posting your logs (%HOMEPATH%/OpenRA/Logs/*), there might be something useful in there.
