Call of Duty Advanced Warfare: Blackscreen lockup on campaign launch

[elcabong50]

I've been trying fo days since I bought the game off Steam to get it to run with no luck. When I launch the single player, 1st I get the COD banner for 5 mins, then when it finally goes away, I get a black screen. If I wait a really long time, like 20mins or longer, eventually it turns to a frozen Campaign menu. But I can't do anything, the mouse pointer and everything else is frozen. Have to ctrl alt delete to get out.

Someone on the Steam forums mentioned they thought the game was using a SW driver instead of their graphics card. This would explain what I'm seeing, I don't know.

Tried validating the game cache, says the files are fine. Re-installed steam, no help. Rolled the Vid driver back to 344.48 from .60, didn't help.

System: I7 3.5Ghz quad core, 16GB RAM, GTX770 4MB, Win7 64 Pro

A program called Dependency Walker says that the DLLs below are missing from my system. I have no idea why. I've updated Win7, Directx, vcredist_x64 and _x86. Nothing has helped.

Anyone have any idea what would install these files?

API-MS-WIN-APPMODEL-RUNTIME-L1-1-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-ERROR-L1-1-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-L1-1-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-ROBUFFER-L1-1-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-STRING-L1-1-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-SHCORE-SCALING-L1-1-1.DLL
DCOMP.DLL
IESHIMS.DLL
MSS64.DLL

Dependency walker, last time I checked at least, was still a 32bit software, which on a 64bit system will most likely ignore some libraries or file them as missing, so don't be mislead by those. They're, if memory serves right, pretty low level OS libs, without which the system would just plainly crash. The issue is most likely elsewhere.

Are you sure you're using your dGPU rather than your iGPU?
Also try doing a clean driver installation. Remove them all and reinstall only the latest version. If you previously had an AMD GPU, delete its drivers too.
