yep i tried the clean install, cleaning the cache, going back to the previous patch, unsyncing with steam cloud, extracting with winrar (not manually) but still i launch the game and when i start to fly the screen goes black and it takes me to the desktop, no crashes occur because the game sounds still respond representive to the actions i give. Strange

Updated to the latest Video Card drivers and such as well?

Just want to say that my laptop has exactly the same problem. (specs below)

I've done a clean install and installed the patch and get the same black screen with the red square in the centre(I initially did a dirty install and had the same issue), but after a few seconds it goes away and the game continue notmally, except for being smoother and the new launcher crash I seamed to have picked up in the patch.

Might need to re-download the patch from a different source and try again.

ive downloaded the patch twice. i havent tried a clean install, so ill see how that goes, the issue is NOT anything to do with the spashscreens as the game open but is to do with when actually going in game to a areoplane. When i start to fly the game reduces itself but still plays noises. I have updated my gfx drivers to nvidia 301.XX (beat drivers) but i know this is not the problem because most people here are using those drivers and the game is working.

Please keep the support coming, its such an annoying feeling when this happens

Thanks

I also have that black screen with a center red square after starting the launcher.
On my side, I can play the game, but have lots of freezes/stuttening, that didn't had before the patch.

Also download the patch twice, from diferent links, tried the clean install, cleaning the cache, going back to the previous patch, unsyncing with steam cloud, extracting with winrar (not manually)

What is the exact number of the driver? 301.24 for old cards, the 301.10 for 680 only.

but my card still works on other games, i made sure of it. So it cant possibly be the drivers, ill reinstalle the old ones and give it a try but i dont think itll make a difference

hey guys im just about to finish downloading the nvidia 296.XXX drivers, restoring from the 301.xxx so hopefully this will work, but im doubtful
