I've been trying to get this game running but unfortunately I cannot make it work.

Let's start with info:

System: Windows 8.1
GPU: Nvidia GTX 980ti
CPU: Intel I7

Monitor: 4k + G-SYNC

"Control sample"

On default game launches and shows the menu with a blue cursor. I am able to access the graphics menu but the game ocasionaly freezes. Cannot start game (Tested only in Campaign, Narrator starts talking but I cannot interact with the interface AKA. Freeze.)

Things I have tried:

1. Changing the Directx 3D rendering mode to the second option

- Before I am able to apply the setting the menu freezes.
- I was able to apply it but: Cannot access options menu and Cannot start the game (both end up with a freeze)

2. Turning of G-SYNC

- No difference noted.

3. Disabling DSLR

- No difference noted.

4. Running default

- As mentioned before no success.

5. Reinstalling the EE patch.

- No changes.

6. Running the expansion

- Even worse than original, can't even access the options menu as it crashes.

7. Running admin

- No changes.

Got any ideas?

Solutions: SOLUTION 2 (just to make sure the game uses NVIDIA), SOLUTION 6 (note that Neo patch should not be installed when trying this solution).

had the same issue and it drove me crazy for a week. I am able to play this on windows 8,1 without a problem now. I did a fresh download of the game without going through the GOG download client. I changed the 3d settings to TNl I believe it was and the resolution to the highest 32 bit settings I could. If you need more help let me know.
