I just tried to play the game today and it just hangs on the very first eye screen. The game was working several days ago when I last played it. I have not made any hardware or software changes to my computer. I have also tried the fixes outlined in this forum/thread to no avail.

Same thing....
I just finished the campaing yesterday and now, can't start the game..

I always get like 1 minute in the Ce3 icon but now, after 10 minute, i still there...

Cmon Crytek, what the hell you doing...

Still doing a portage with that many bugs and release a fake patch who just give more bugs....

Is that a big april fools?

I would like to be able to play the game. If anyone has any fixes for this new issue would they please help.
