hey everyone thought I might be able to get some help here

I just wanted to say I had no problems running them demo at all, ran smooth on hardcoe. so bought the game threw steam and it crashes on the crytech screen and I can find a way around it. I have to reboot the computer everytime. I cant even back out of the game! I just locks up

my video card drivers and dx are all up to date and i have no problems running anything else

my system stats are

Alienware m15x
i7, 4gb ram, ati 5850 1gb (11.2 drivers)
Win 7 64bit

any help would be much appreciated

up

anyone have any ideas? i would love to play haha

You'd be better off on the steam support forum if that is where you bought it.

Be aware that there is an issue with AVG where it will lock the .exe file so that steam can't start the game correctly. The solution to that issue is to toss AVG into the ocean and get a proper AV.

I would start by verifying the Steam game cache, prehaps you have some corrupted files downloaded.

ok ill try there aswell, and i did verify and it didnt help

but just so im clear (kind of a newb) what is AVG and AG?

thanks

AVG is a free antivirus software. If you are running it, I'd suggest turning it off.

im running McAfee, its wasnt a free version I paid for it

you think turning it off will get me past the loading screen? i thought it might be a video card problem (even though everything else runs perfect) anyone else having problems with it running on a 5850?

UPDATE:

ok so I uninstalled and reinstalled, verified my cache and tried with no anti-virus and still no luck

after the crytech logo its just locks up my computer

UPDATE 2:

ok now when i try it gets to the same crytech logo, video card drivers stop working it freezes then i get a blue screen saying memory dump and windows restarts....

any ideas?

again all games run fine except crysis 2

driver are 11.2 on 5850
