[resolved]The games do not work

[Mano]

Hello

First, excuse me for mistakes, I use google translation to go faster.

So I download the games on steam, the first time I start the game, after you pass the laucher, loading, I have a horrible sound (the music of loading) and fully deformed picture gives me a black screen that appears and disappears (in the meantime, I see the logo, who is at the center of the image with weird signs), I am forced to close the game with Ctrl-Shift-delete.

I try to change the graphics settings (resolution minimum, all options to minimum), I managed only once to reach the introductory videos but with some very low (1024X800, no shadows and textures below)

As I saw her walk, I leave the game before seeing the entire video to try to change the graphics (because it was very ugly), and since I still have problems with sound loading bug that after laucher or when I click on "start a new game" when I reach that far.

I'm really disappointed, its been since I seek and 3H impossible to play !
Needless to say, I did run without any problem the latest games, I also try without SLI, but it changes nothing.


thank you for your help, I'm sure it's a very good game but I'm really disappointed to lose my time to solve a problem as enormous.

Reinstall graphics drivers and then turn off SLI. Might be some setting in graphics card that does not work (that is why reinstalling is good) and SLI is reported not to work well.

ok, its working but now as I have no SLI, the game goes wrong because of the graphics that I like to raise, do a patch for SLI'll be out soon?

Thank you for help!

Solution: Take the last patch and turn your SLI
