I have literally had an issue for about three weeks where i was unable to launch the game, the screen would go black and the program would become un responsive, i have seen one or two people report the problem with no solution,
i have tried EVERYTHING, anything suggested even remotely similar to my issues, but today after ranking up and extra three hours on my game clock i found a solution and my game now works again!
i just thought i would share what i did in the hope that it helps someone
not saying this will work for everyone (and i don't even know what possessed me to try it)
but are you experience this and use FRAPS?, open up task manager and end the process of FRAPS and try load the game
FRAPS was literally the reason for my crash
hope this helps because it was driving me insane
