I'm having same problem.

Windows 8.1 Pro x64

ATI 7750 (tried both 13.9 and 13.11 drivers)

CPU i3, 8GB ram

Sorter13 -  Are you referring to the beta driver: AMD Catalyst™ 13.11 Beta Driver for Windows® ?

The most common reasons for a black screen issue are:

  • Resolution: the screen and/or game screen resolution is not properly adjusted
  • Graphic card drivers
  • A Windows update is missing

If ever just like Mishkkaa you can launch the game win windowed mode then changing the resolution might help.

Also, if you have not tried yet, please install the Beta driver (link above - Windows 8 users).

To solve this issue, update to the beta graphics card driver, AMD Catalyst 13.11 Beta V9.2, or simply disable Crossfire and unplug the Crossfire cable to prevent the crash.
