Computer lockup on demo menu

[afflikshoN]

I've tested this on two operating systems (same comp): XP and Windows 7. When clicking, "New Game," there is a graphical lockup/system freeze with no ability to alt-tab, ctrl+alt+f, etc. The screen freezes with pixelated, random colors.

 

I tried this on a PC with XP installed, then swapped hardrives with reinstalled drivers, etc. on Windows 7 and had the same problem. All drivers are up to date.

 

 

Computer Specs:

 

Asus Crosshair, Socket AM2 Mobo

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ (2.6 ghz)

GeForce 9800 GTX+ (512MB)

4 gigs of DDR2 Crucial Ballistix RAM (PC2 6400)

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Heya,

 

Can you verify if this is the same issue that you're getting?

EDIT: There is also this issue to check out as well: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/show...17#post22817917

 

The first issue had to do with Visual Studio, and the second was a region error.

Thank you for your prompt response. I ensured that all language/country settings were set to English/US (they were originally) and reinstalled Visual Studio through the DSIII demo directory. Alas, I still receive full system lockup upon clicking any button on the game menu.

 

I did find one thing interesting: after verifying the game's integrity through the game's "Properties" menu on Steam, 1 file would fail and steam would redownload. After steam had downloaded the file, I would retest the game's integrity and, again, it would fail. Could this be the issue?

Can you PM me your DXDiag file?

 

From the Steam Thread:

 

(d) DXDiag.txt. Here's a tutorial on how to get this file on Windows 7 (it's very similar on Windows XP, but just bring up Start->Run and enter 'dxdiag'):

. Please include its contents in an e-mail.

 

We would recommend sending this to our e-mail address above vs. posting it here as it contains private information about your computer.

DxDiag sent as PM on this forum. Thanks.
