Somerset Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Ok I've searched and searched forums and haven't found a solution to this problem so I'm asking for help. I got BF3 and every time i try and play it the game black screens on the intro, sound disappears and the entire computer just hangs. No way back to windows, no ctrl-alt-delete, nothing. I tried updating my nvidia drivers but they won't even install, I made sure to have admin priviliges, ran it in admin mode, did everything i can but they won't install, just says "failed to install". It's definitely the right driver for my card, downloaded twice. Completely uninstalled old drivers, rebooted, tried installing new ones and nope, not happening. System SpecsCore i7 2600kGigabyte GTX 560 Ti12 GB Corsair Vengeance RamWD Caviar Black 500GBWater cooled with a Corsair H80Win 7 UltimateSo any suggestions guys? Please I want to play BF3!

Gazz Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Not 100%, but sure someone said its a driver issue with the GTX 560Ti and nvidia are working on a solution. Maybe someone else can shed a little more light on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somerset Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 yeh its a driver issuse friend of mine has the same problem ..try lowering textures to medium or high and turning shadows off Game won't even boot into the menu atm, it did the first time but now it just blackscreens once it goes past the credits. Guess i'll just wait until the driver fix comes out. Thanks for the build compliment, i didn't list it to show off, just so everyone knew i wasn't trying to run BF3 on a piece of garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somerset Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 I found a fix!Updated the BIOS of my graphics card, this improved things but still crashed after 20 minutes. Then i underclocked my graphics card from 900 to 810 and haven't had any problems since. It seems you might have to do both of these things to get it working.
