Crysis 3 Issue: No video displayed when launching game

Post » Sat Mar 09, 2013 1:59 am

I live in the UK so my copy of Crysis 3 just arrived today. When I launch the game I can hear the the publishers'/developers' logo screens playing however there is no visual; just a blank screen. Once they are finished I can't hear anything else and I'm left with a silent black screen, I don't think it makes it to a main menu unless that menu has no sound.

When I try to install the game it will get to various percentages of progress (but not past 10%) before it will show the 'disc is unreadable error'. I have checked the disc and its surface is flawless, no scratches or smudges, as I said its brand new out the box less than an hour ago.

I've tried launching other games and they all work perfectly fine, its only with Crysis 3 that these issues occur.

The Xbox I have is the 'Pro' 60 gig model (matte white with chrome disc tray). It has never had any issues or needed any repairs. I'm using a HDMI cable to display at 1080i, I tried switching to 1080p (worth a shot) but the issue persists.

My first thought might have been that I just got a poor game disc if it wasn't for the fact that it appears to be in perfect condition. I've never encountered a problem before where the game's audio will play but not the video which is why I have no idea what to do.

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue.
