Game wont Start New Game...

[[OCN]Skupples]

Hello... I can get the game to launch, but i cant get it to start a new game... i know its not my system being under powered.

I think you need to give people more to go on. What system you have. Just exactly what it does when you try to start a new game, and so on.

New game loops.... 3770k @ 5.0, two titans, V formula board, 2 512gb ssd's.

When i click "new game>difficulty>>hard mode... it loops back to the start screeen

I give up, really I do. "new game loops" what is that supposed to mean? Really if you can't be bothered giving a good description then I can't be bothered trying to help.

And it's not about whether your system is powerful enough, rather it's about wherther there are any known problems with your specific hardware.

I dont know how else to say it man... The game launches... I click new game... The difficulty select comes up, i select my difficulty, it tries to go in to the load screen before the intro story, but fails and falls back to the main game screen... (thus why i called it looping)

I know games can do things like this when you have its files open in regedit... That's my only experience with a problem like this since like 1997 in a space game called "Phantom Fury" or something.

Hardware:
Intel Ivybridge 3770k (dont know what batch sorry)
NVidia Geforce GTX TITAN'sx2(newest drivers)
OCZ vertec 4 512gbx2( no raid config)
Asus V formula Mobo.( newest bios)
3x asus 24 inch 1440p monitors
Windows 7.

That is strange.
I'm guessing that you have tried to run it in DX9, and also with the CPU running at normal speed ( not overclocked )?

[[OCN]Skupples]

Iv'e defualted my titan OC's, and reduced CPU OC down to 4.2... And yeah launching in dx9 doesnt help =(

Well I have to confess I haven't found anything on that particular problem. The only suggestion I have heard on similar issues is that there is likely a missing file. But I am pretty sure you would already have verified the game.

hmm... Nope, and its possible i botched something when adjusting it into widescreen (doubt it though) guess only other option is re-install, or trying to play it on my tower from 2-3 gens ago.

install the d3d from the game files, i had that happen on my son's computer, works fine

Yeah, i got the game to launch finally... But i can only play on Dx9 due to Dx11 lighting bugs.... Good thing i'm not seizure sensitive... I'm guessing the main issue is SLI related, so once i get a display port cord next week i will try running tri monitor from just one card. HOPEFULLY that will allow me to play in dx11 5760x1080

Just in case anyone else ends up with a similar problem, this was the first thread I found that mentioned the issue I was having so I'm just posting the solution that worked for me.

Improbable as it may seem, the problem genuinely **appears** to have been that the drive that I was running the game from was too big. I was running off of a 256 GB SSD (my C: drive) and every time I selected New Game the screen would fade out and then fade right back into the main menu.

I tried reinstalling twice as well as changing all of the video options to their lowest settings and running in DX9 mode, and still no luck.

What finally did the trick was making a new Steam library (Preferences -> Downloads -> Manage Library Locations) on a 128 GB SSD (my F: drive), and then "moving" the game to the new library (you can't actually "move" a game in steam, so I did a Backup, Delete Local Content, Restore, and then picked the new library location).

With all of that done, everything worked perfectly and I've been playing with no problems since. I can't for the life of me figure out WHY the hell the drive size could possibly make a difference, but that did the trick for me.

ok i found a workaround on a diferent post page 2 post #38 downloaded that persons save package put the relevant files in the correct locations and it works you are able to load the game from the begining bypassing the newgame http://steamcommunity.com/app/55110/discussions/0/357286119111467828/
using that workaround will alow you to load the first auto save right at the opening movie it worked for me once i put the save files in the remote folder and in the 55110 folder you put the remotecache.vdf file
