3 Black Screen can't find solution

rss0900 · 12-15-12, 01:51 AM

2 gtx 670 4gb's spanning 3 28" monitors. Game starts up and load but all I get is a black screen with a sinlge icon in the top right of some kind of notification ship in shallow waters, and the mouse cursor. If I press F1 the keyboard commands come up, escape the menu, but the F2 and F4 don't produce anyting excep a black screen with that icon.

Not running any mods. Anyone have a solution for this?
windows 7 64 bit.

I've already set antialiasing to 2x in nvidia control panel, tried manually installing directx, and vcredistributable files. Restarted, ran in compatability mode windows xp sp3, ran as administrator.

************************************************** **********************************************
goto - Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features

look for - Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable 9.0.30729.4974

if you have it - delete it
************************************************** ***********************************************

also the game should run with windows 7 , dual cards might be a settings issue somewhere though . antialiasing in nvidia control panel has to be set to application controlled .

Genius ==> SOBER <== Genius

Deleting that version of vc files worked. Now just have to figure out how to adjust field of view or aspect ratio so the entire menu/screen fits. Thanks so much.

Grrrrr I can't figure out how to change the aspect ratio or field of view. AT 3072x768x75 the screen menus don't show up correctly and everything is distorted. Anyone with a suggestion on this?

I give up literally 5 hours surfing the net and forums trying to find these answers

I don't think you'll be able to stretch it over 3 screens like that easily. There is really nothing to stretch that much. Try one screen.
