Game is absolutely unplayable for me :( please help.

Hello!

Now, I've already talked to multiple advisors on the EA-support chat from which no one could really help me solve the problem (they forwarded it to the special department, though.) , and on the EA-answers HQ so figured I'd also try it here.

I'm having this really weird problem where I can't load levels. I can get to the main menu, but when I try to start a new game, nothing happens - the screen fades away and it stays like that. Not even a loading screen. Also I can't enter the nanosuit showroom. No error message or anything like that. From that point I am not able to do anything anymore, so I have to force-end the game via Task-manager.

Also, the game freezes whenever I try to enter the multiplayer.

Now the weird thing is, when I tried to load a level via console command ("map ") it worked without any problems.

I can't load savegames though.

My system specs:
CPU: Intel i3-3220 3.3GHz
MB: Asus P8B75M-LX
GPU: Gigabyte Geforce GTX460 1024MB (Driver: 314.07)

I don't think that my machine should be the problem, as I was able to play the open beta two weeks ago, and, as mentioned before, can play the levels when loaded via console command.

I already tried updating my DirectX and have the newest drivers and updates installed. I also reinstalled the game 3 times by now.

Anyone with the same problem, or have some advice? I'm really out of ideas.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry but, what do you expect? I3, and GTX 460? of course its running bad ( or not at all ) your config deadly weak! Even if you got 8-12 or even 16 GB ram, even that won't change anything anymore! The chipset and the GPU far too weak!

Well, I don't know where you got your sources mate, but as I said: When the levels are loaded via console command, It's all good. I can play the game on medium settings. Problem is just that I can't access multiplayer and can't load any savegames/levels normally.

I'm starting to get sick to death of your rubbish. The OP can run the game fine when loaded manually, he even ran the open beta, its nothing to do with his system. Read carefully before blaming everything on his system specs.

To the OP, open the console with '~' before you start the campaign, tell me if you see any errors at the time it freezes and has to force quit.

I don't know why you're being all passive-agressive on me, but if you would take a look on the "minimum requirements" for the first link you sent, it clearly says:

Pentium Dual Core E6600
GT 440
2GB RAM

Now, my I doubt that my I3-3220 is weaker than a pentium E6600. Also, a GTX460 is far more powerful than a GT 440. And my 4GB of RAM should clearly be enough. Even the "recommended" section suggests an I3 - one that is weaker than mine.

Now, on PC-Gamer it says:
Nvidia GTS 450
Intel Core2 Duo 2.4 Ghz (E6600)

Again, both of those are weaker than what I have in my machine.
I don't know what your problem is with my config?

Well, we're lucky that the game looks still amazing even on low settings (IMO.) Now only if I could actually play it :P

DX11 actually runs faster than DX9/10.
