    Bug - Black Screen at Launch

    so upon starting the game in fullscreen the game instantly goes black, eventually if i'm patient enough it will play background noice, like its progressing through the opening cutscene. it will even get to the menu, i hear myself move around, but yet still not screen. the only way i've been able to see the menu or anything, is when i alt-ctrl+dlt my way and hovering over the tab i can see the title screen, but not in fullscreen. i search around and found it could be due to needing to verify files (seriously wth is the need for this i just bought the game a week ago, i shouldn't have to spend five minutes verifying files before i wanna play. but alas that didn't work, and i probably wouldn't be posting this if that were the case

    anyway i have an
    I5 quad core at 3.7ghz
    2 970s in sli
    16gb of ddr3 ram
    the game is on an ssd with 103gb free
    i'm also running the game at 3440x1440 at mostly high settings

    the game was running fine, got around 38-45 frames, perfectly acceptable for single player, and now after a couple days it no longer wants to work

    ps i've tried with my vpn service both on (my preference, cuz why else would i use one) and off to no avail in case it was an issue with drm or something, but if that were the case wouldn't it just not load to begin with

    also i dont even care to try to run it in windowed mode. because i dont care whether or not it works then because i will not be playing the game like that so what does it matter

    Why is this happening to me

    I HAVE TO AGREE HERE

    I have a PS4 even though its a year old my game will literally shut off but will lag so bad I cant walk and I teleport I think they fixing it cause it notices less of it happening but that was the worst when it happened during john seeds mission and I couldn't fly 5 feet. I think it was a loading error but idk. The cutscene sometimes glitch to were I only hear the voices to i just reload the game but i have to redo that mission. Idk hopefully can be fixed. That all I've seen so far with errors

    If anyone else has the same issue please tell me how to fix it or even how to play with it thanks to all who see this.
