Blackscreen on pressing play

Post by MrAidanPreston »

So I press play and all my 3 monitors go black and the game just closes. I have recently come back to PR today and having troubles getting it worked. I am using the Pr installer?

Any help please?

Do you run any overlay programs?
Overwolf, RAPTR, TS3 overlay, etc. all those oevrlays can cause this blackscreen crash.
It's not definitely the problem but it's where we should start, by closing all overlay programs down completely.

Start PRLauncher->Support->Copy to Clipboard button.

Paste everything here.

You using a 1440p or any monitor larger than 1080p? Using Dual link DVI or Displayport?
Using a keyboard with a LCD display?
Using a USB headphone/headset/mic?

Post the specs and we'll figure this out.

You got a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770, you can run everything at High with 8X AA.

I'm not sure what could be wrong, you got a nicely spec'ed system, game works in windowed mode.

Try disconnecting both your
Primary Playback: Speakers (2- Corsair Vengeance
and
Primary Recording: Microphone (HD Webcam C270)
BEFORE you start PRLauncher.

.... I'm guessing if it's not an overlay software issue than it's a USB audio input issue.

I too have a black screen problem. Mine is while in the game usually when I am moving the screen goes black for about 1 to 2 sec then pops back.I also have noticed that when I am driving and hit my talk key my truck will drop its grates.If I am in gunners seat in ahumvee when I go to talk I put out smoke. Doesn't happen on all maps though, My black screen is also not on all maps.I am usually pressing key when my black screen occurs.

Sgt mayo right click drops crates and smoke so check your keybinds.

I run a two screen set up.and had to fine tune my resolution to get it to work on the principle screen, have you tried using just one then two screens?
