MW3 Stuck on black screen on launch
-
Hello all,
I just did a clean reinstall of the game because I was having issues with Windows Security not letting the game launch. I got all of that figured out, made exceptions for the Plutonium file path in Windows Security, but now the game won't launch whatsoever. The cmd prompt opens, and a black screen gets displayed and nothing else. No error message, no audio, just a black screen. I saw this on the FAQ about this issue:
"This is caused by some software running on your machine clashing with Pluto. SONAR RADAR, SONAR STUDIO, GAMERSFIRST IV, NAHIMIC, ADVANCED SYSTEMCARE ULTIMATE, PREMIER OPINION are some of the programs that cause issue, uninstall them if you have them. Can also be caused by some antivirus softwares."
Well, as I already said, the antivirus isn't a problem. I've never installed any of those other programs so that can't be the issue either. By the way, the game worked fine a few days ago. I'm at a loss with this and I can't find anyone else having this issue. I'll attach a screenshot of the cmd window, in case that helps.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Have you tried to change your game to windowed mode by entering
r_fullscreen 0
andvid_restart
into the external console? -
Xerxes Just tried it, typing into the console doesn't do anything. Like I can type anything I want, and nothing happens.

Xerxes Any other ideas?
