Game freezes on start up (I managed to fix)

[[IGF] Honorguy]

I have seen so many topics about this and I tried a lot but this game keeps freezing! I can see deadpool running when loading, then the screen with the devs pops up after that it turns black and freezes.

I tried the "-nocrashdialog", Drivers check/update, admin mode, compatibility from 7 to XP. (I run Win8.1), windowed mode, offline mode and whatever I could find on the net.

If you're curious about specs well here ya go:
Intel I7 4770k
Asus ROG Maximus Hero IV
EVGA GTX 780 SC
16GB RAM 1600Mhz Kingston
2TB HDD (where game is installed)
2x SSD (one for OS and other stuff)

All drivers are stable and updated. Last time I had this kind of thing was with Red Orchestra 2 but that appeared to be caused by steam workshop.


What I did do in short (scroll down for entire story) ->

So in short what did I do different to what it was.

Old installation:
- HDD
- Seperate from the OS (a special game drive I made)
- Brake the loading capacity from the CPU (affinity)

New instal (working)
- SSD
- Same SSD as the Operating System (windows)
- No affinity settings

Result:
- Game works but takes 5 minutes to load at first.

Advised: If you have something like FRAPS or Dxtory then I'd say turn it ON. As long as you see the FPS moving you're fine! Once it stops you're probably crashed.
Also keep Task Manager in sight (if you have a 2nd screen put it there)

Now as far as I know this only applies for me as for now. If it works for others, please let it know!

I launch the game, it installs whatever file it installs everytime, and the icon pops up at the bottom of the task bar.. I click the icon and it says Deadpool (not responding) in a white windowed screen with borders.. Deadpool executable failed to respond blah blah. I just don't expect anyone to respond so I guess I'm out $40, and I've tried everything just as you have.

Well this is ♥♥♥♥...

Have you tried verifying the cache?

[[IGF] Honorguy]

Everything that was possible. Nothing worked.

i have same problem, is there any solution ?

[[IGF] Honorguy]

Well I was about to write my solution one these days. So I've put my specs of my PC in there and well my game was on one of my HDD drives. I also tried to put a brake on the loading speed when the game firstly froze, I've seen old games freeze due to overloading. That didn't work out, but then I decided to actually overload the game. HDD was no succes, but my OS is on an SSD with a lot of space left. I've installed the game on my SSD (the same where my OS is on) the game struggles with booting up and takes almost 5 minutes but during that whole time I didn't see once in Task Manager "Deadpool32.exe Not responding". I can actually fire up the game now.

Ok so I finally got the game working instead of loading a black screen and freezing. Here's what's going on for me, and it's working now.

1) on newest beta nvidia drivers 331.93
2) added "-nocrashdialog" including the quotes to launch options
3) deleted all intro videos
4) vsync is on, fullscreen is on
5) game is installed to my SSD which is the same drive as my OS
