Step 1 - Download
Download Windows Debug -----> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/desktop/bg162891 (Win 8.1)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/hh852363.aspx (Win 8)

When downloading this only select .Net Framework and the Debug one to save up some time.

Step 2 - Setting up
Now when you finish downloading START THE GAME until you go to the Menu, Alt + Tab out of the game and open Windbg (you will not have this on your desktop, search for it in the search bar) IF NECESSARY RUN THE PROGRAM AS ADMINISTRATOR AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE RUNNING THE GAME WITHOUT CHANGING THE COMPATIBILITY

If you are using the Custom Start menu


_______________________________________________________________________

If you are using Win8's normal search

Step 3 - In the Program
When you are in the program go to choose file ---> attach progress

Select the DW8 app (Launch.exe)

Your game's sound will probably stop but do not worry it will go back to normal when you do this next step.

Click debug --> go unhandled exception

And you are done!
Get back into your game and start playing, your loading screen freezes should be gone by now.

I have tried many methods and this is the only one that has actually worked for me. If you have the freezing/black screen problem, I would try this method.

I was hesitant to try this because of the comments saying it didn't work, but I tried just about everything else I could find so I figured I'd give this a go. It seems to have worked perfectly. I haven't blacked screened at all since I did this fix. So, I wanted to give you a greatly earned thanks. Thanks for sharing this fix. Best of all, there is no side effects. No alt+tabbing between games, no playing in window mode, etc. Just the initial setup then forget about it and enjoy the game.

Also make sure you did not change the compatibility of the game Mem.
