Yeah I dont enjoy the workaround either and dont find it acceptable or a "fix" but it may give some light as to what is going on with the issue. Have you at least tried changing resolutions to something else and back? Is this something that may be a resolution error? Again, not that it acceptable, but if anyone were to read this from EA, they may want to know where the problem started.
*EDIT* Resolution within the game itself
nope, can't change the resolution. Just tried, and it blacks out all three of my monitors, and stays blacked out even when I alt tab out of the game.
edit: I have noticed that if I hit alt tab, and then keep the alt key held down, I can see the game again, until I let go of alt. Then the screens go black again.
Hi guys,
Can some of you with this issue post what Graphics unit your computer is using? Want to see if there is a brand/type/model in common or not.
Geforce gtx 770
GeForce GT 740M
Just curious did everyone else who is having this problem also preload the game?
AMD Radeon HD 7570
1360 x 768 (32 bit)Windows 8 (not 8.1) 64-BitAMD FX9tm)-6200 Six-Core Processor (6 CPUs)10240MB RAMDirect X 11
Thanks guys...
I was going to say Reset 3D profiles and/or clean install drivers.... but Green and Red back to back like that... mmmmm still you can try that.
Does this game have a "Windowed FullScreen" mode in the options? Try that perhaps. If the game somehow doesn't have Windowed Fullscreen or a setting similar.. just use Windowed to test to see.
*edit* haha the color of your icons are Green and Red too
Everything this guy said, me too.
