Can't Play at all! Urgent help needed. {FIXED}

[Threeinone]

well Damn ._. I fixed it myself and it was both simple and extremely complicated at the same time.


So after a bit of study on the net and going through some obscure gaming forums I found a few other people with the same issue, none of whom knew the fix. This got me frustrated but I really wanted to help my friend so i kept looking... 2 or 3 people later I noticed a pattern, every single person who had this issue used a HDTV for their monitor! Then it hit me, it wasn't a PC problem it was a problem with the monitor, the information wasn't being sent right.

SO i asked my friend to screen share on Skype and we could see exactly what was happening. To my surprise when he did this "poof" the game came up, I figured "oh problem salved" but he said all he saw was the blue screen. then bam, I realized... it's the resolution!

Long story short I sat there and through skype screen share lead him step by step into changing the resolution to it's max in the game. this instantly fixed the problem.

So for all you techs out there who ever run into this problem! it's the resolution settings, use either a second monitor or a second computer to guide the first.
