White screen at launch. Please help!
After the duke nukem flag waves accross the screen, a big white screen pops up and the menu sounds play. I can even scroll through the menu and beep noises play as i scroll over each option. I even managed to start the game. but the screen is white and I can't see anything. Please help!

what did work for me was launching the game and hitting ALT + TAB to go back to my desktop and I right clicked on the icon on my start bar and right clicked again on duke nukem, and clicked on properties. from there I went into compatibility and selected run in 640 x 480 screen resolution and it worked but I couldnt switch the resolution at all with that enabled.

I went back and disabled the run in 640 x 480 and instead selected the option below it - Disable Fullscreen Optimizations and it worked perfect! hope this helps everyone else

I have an Acer Aspire T - ATC-280-EB11 with a GTX 750 Ti

Go to Steam/steamapps/common/Duke Nukem Forever/Redist/DirectX click on DXSETUP and install it. This got the game working for me was getting white screen when trying to run the game before doing this.
