    Ok so ive had this since release, played fine no problems.

    Updated drivers to the beta version someone posted the other day, never bothered to check if it runs or anything. Went to play today and i get the following

    game launches, Screen flickers between grey, black and white screen. Tab out to see the game running in the back ground (windowed version), Sounds and everything play but no picture full screen.

    Anyone any ideas? I think it could be a missing resolution or something but dont see why that would change.

    This happining to anyone else? My R3 is like 1 month old, no problems with GFX or anything. First time this has happened to me.
