12 years agoI can't play Need for Speed Rivals in full screen at all, if full screen is enabled the screen is black with no sound. This occurs when my 7950 is plugged in via an HDMI 1.4a cable to a brand new Vizio 50" 3D TV. To troubleshoot, I disconnected the crossfire cable, and I uninstalled and upgraded from the official non beta 13.9 driver, to the AMD Catalyst 13.11 Beta 9.4 driver. Rivals has the latest updates available, and I also disabled avast anti-virus temporarily. The only solution was to plug my new PC build via HDMI into my Acer Monitor. From reading this forum, this seems to be a known issue that primarily affects AMD users playing this game on a TV set through HDMI.
None of my other games or applications have any other issues at all. My settings in NFS Rivals are all Ultra, with fullscreen set to off. Anti Aliasing, is forced via Catalyst Control Center, however to troubleshoot further, I disabled this feature, and regardless, the issue still persisted.
