Black screen after launching the game

[Raesendra]

I logged into the game just fine yesterday. Now, after downloading the 6.2 patch, after clicking on "play", game launches, expands to fullscreen, but the screen stays black. When I click mouse button while on the black screen, the game closes and I have to re-start launcher, put in login details again, rinse and repeat. Is this happening to anyone else?

EDIT: BEST TEMPORARY SOLUTION SO FAR THAT WORKS:

1. Launch the game through Steam
2. Log-in with your account details, but DO NOT press the Play button
3. While the launcher is on the screen where you can see the Play button, launch the Task Manager, and end the Steam process
4. After Steam has been forcibly closed, press Play
5. The game should work as normal

After the nvidia update this is not working. The Black Screen just sits there and you cant even close the screen all you can do now is restart the computer. When are they gonna solve this problem? Cant believe i paid for this. Unbeliveable. Like they dont even check forums i guess. Cause this has been happening since august. This is the hottest topic in forum and they still didnt say anything about it? When you contact steam support it just sends you here. In here there is nothing... Why am i even trying to do this stupid stuff when i pay for it they should be doing something instead like its pointless. Wtf is this?

This image appears incomplete - though I've seem variants of this as a solution and it didn't work for me.

Thanks for sharing, though!

Ya really odd, I post at least daily in this thread but no attention to it, you'd think at least employee is responsible as a community manager (let alone moderators).

I know for sure its Steam related since I made a free trial account non steam and its been running without any crashes. Thinking of trying to setup a VM and see if it crashes that way in steam that way. Might report back if I get any results
