Unable to launch Crysis 3 - black screen instead of EA logo

Post » Sun Feb 24, 2013 8:44 pm

I was able to launch Crysis 3 initially, saw all the fancy logos, played for a while and quit. The following day I tried to launch Crysis 3 and all I see is black screen, don't get to see any fancy logos nor can I get to the menu. Uninstalled and re-installed Origin, no luck. Anything I can do in order to launch the game and enjoy it?

i7 2600K 3.4 GHz | Asus Maximus IV Extreme Rev 3.0 | Patriot Division 2 8172 MB 1600MHz
Radeon HD 6990 | SyncMaster 2343 | Intel SSD 520 240 GB | WD 2 TB SATA 7200 rpm
Corsair AX 1200W Gold | Antec Twelve Hundred Gamer

Thanks

I'll see if that works. I even removed prior AMD drivers and installed Catalyst 13.2 beta 6, was able to launch and play the game, however today back to square one - cannot launch the game in that I get to see black screen only. Have to do a hard reset to get the machine to respond again. Probably should leave the game for a month until both Crytek and AMD gets their act together on drivers / software issues. A real shame.
