Re: plants vx zombies won't open - black screen

Possibly open up your Catalyst Control Center, go to Advanced view.

Under 3D Settings // 3D Properties, default them.

-

Alternatively, uninstall CCC from Control Panel.

Run Display Driver Uninstaller in Safe Mode and clean AMD drivers.

Restart and installed latest

Another thing to test.

Disable Origin in Game from the Origin Client.

This game needs it for certain things (like the original I assume).

If that allows it to launch... check around your running programs you may have another overlay program interfering (like Fraps, RiviaTuner, overwolf, etc).  Origin in Game and other overlay software do not get along and OiG is pretty much required I believe for this title (not sure to what extent yet but I'd assume inviting and the store).

    Your tenacity in trying to resolve issues for folk is amazing!

    Sadly neither of those ideas changes the symptoms.

    Frankly the software is clearly pretty poor if it can't make a diagnosis of issues pre-launch or immediately post- . Not that impressive for a long-hearlded game.

    Will keep trying but right now I have a life to lead, rather than sorting out my young lad's games.

    Thanks so much for assisting ...
