Summary0009564: White blank screen on startup, sound continues
DescriptionIf I use [PRINT_MODE:2D] DF's screen turns white, sound still goes on, and I can still chose any option from the menu (I can still press the UP arrow and ENTER to quit the game e.g.). The only thing that fixed it for me is using [PRINT_MODE:STANDARD], then the game runs perfect but I can't use any graphics set properly (fonts look weird). It always happens after 1-5 secs after I open the game, before I start doing anything, so I can't upload a savegame to reproduce it.

It happens either on a clean, fresh-downloaded client, or a graphics set/init modified client.
Additional InformationFor some reason, sometimes it takes longer to happen, like for example if I reboot the computer, it will take a bit longer (1 min) to happen. Dwarf Fortress is the only application where this happens to me.

Errorlog.txt says : "Unrecognized Announcement Token: TRAVEL_ADVISORY" whenever I launch the game. Removing "TRAVEL_ADVISORY" from the announcements.txt seems to fix it for me, but I'm using an unmodified announcements.txt with "TRAVEL_ADVISORY" on it, because I have no idea if removing it from the file will have any effect on gameplay.

Please forgive any grammar/english mistakes, for it is not my first language.

Doesn't seem to happen if I run it as an administrator
