I am having a problem with Crysis 3 that won't even let me get past the intro video when you create a new game...
During the intro scene with the flying helicopter my computer will lock up completely 5-10 seconds into the game. I have to manually turn off and restart my pc as the entire thing just locks up and freezes. There is no error message, no warning.... nothing that would help me figure out what is going on.

The MP Beta worked fine, and my PC is far beyond the min requirements of the game. It is kind of frustrating to try and find a solution when I am not even sure what the problem is :/.

My PC:
AMD FX8350 @ 5.2Ghz watercooled (I tried stock speeds, still locked up)
Asus Sabertooth 990FX Rev 2 (BIOS up to date)
32GB (4x8) DDR3-2166Mhz RAM (tried @ stock 1866, still locked up)
Raid0 OZC SSD's (tested also on a single 1TB HDD, still locked up)
Windows 7 (Up to date)
2x EVGA GTX680 SC & OC in SLi (I tried at stock speeds, and also tried a single card, still locked up) Drivers up to date
GTX650 dedicated Physx card (disabled it and the game still locked up)

I am kind of running out of things to test :/.

Has anyone had this problem and found a solution?

What about MP? Can you play it?

What about programs running in the background? Could some other software have a conflict with Cryisis 3?

IronCactuar, I want you to know I have this EXACT same problem! I can't find a solution on Google and EA support has only given me the usual BS answers. I tried uninstalling both the game and Origin as well.

Someone, please help us with this. I really want to play this game!

I have:

i7 2600
2x AMD 7950s
8Gb Ram
Windows 8

This is not user error! Something is wrong here.

This is not simply a "Crysis 3 has stopped working" thing either. The game will not exit. If you manage to get control of your desktop, the game still takes over the background and will not force close at all. I have to do a hard shutdown every single time :/
