Need for Speed Rivals - Black screen only with full screen

On startup Need for Speed Rivals is giving me a black screen only whilst full screened. Alt tabbing has it in a windowed screen where things begin to work properly, but any attempt to return to full ...

    Thank you all for the details provided. We are currently collecting information about the black screen issue while playing in full screen mode.

    If this issue is not caused by the resolution then perhaps another program or add-on is interfering.  If you want, in the meantime you can try to run a clean boot on your PC: How to Clean Boot your PC.

    The Clean Boot process disables many background tasks that may be causing interference.

     

    We will update this thread as soon as more information is available.

    Note: we will redirect other reports about regarding the same issue here. Thanks.

      I don't think that, how a program interfered? If this be the case then in window mode the game goes black too. Anyway, I already try your solution, but nothing happen, the black fullscreen still occurring
      I'll be waiting for a final solution fot this problem, because I buy this game for play, thing I can do jet

        I have nailed down the issue of black sceen to:

        • Resolution: the screen and/or game screen resolution is not properly adjuste

        Since I am running the game on my 46 TV, something that the game does not like to do even with 1920x1080 resolution on both game and setting setup. 

        I am just running the game in windowed mode at that resolution so it aint realy a big issue, but this should be fixed. I mean the game was designed to run on TV sized screens :/

         

        NOTE: If I switch the HDMI cable back to my normal screen the game will run without any problem on full screen.

      This is ridiculous, it's been two months since this games release.  After looking round, this isn't Rivals only problem. EA games should really beta test games before their release, as it stands I've paid to beta test this game.

      System specs

      Windows 7 64 bit

      AMD 8350

      8 gig of corsair 2400mHz ram

      ATi 7970 latest beta drivers 13.11

      ATi 5450 for sound

      asus crosshair V formula z board

      128 gig OCZ vertex 4 SSD drive

      Now I do have 3 'screens' attatched to the graphics cards, all screens are set to 1080p @60Hz..

      1, samsung synchmate 2450.  

      2, a 47" 1080p Toshiba TV.  

      3, an onkyo 7.1 amp - connected via HDMI

      Is there a time frame on you releasing a 'fix' for this issue?

      Disabling background tasks doesn't work  for me  either.
