Watch_Dogs Loading to Black Screen

ASUS GeForce GTX 780 DirectCU II OC GPU

Dark Knight Night Hawk Edition CPU Cooler

 

When I start Watch Dogs on Steam, it starts up Uplay and it won't even sync my save files and it eventually deleted my save files, but when I start the game, and it'll go to the main menu.  Then I click "New game" and the game does the loading animation and then the screen goes to black, and it just stays there.  It doesn't have anything on the screen

 

I wont be able to respond to this post until 9:00 PM Eastern Standard Time due to Marching Band practice (I might be able to check on my phone during breaks, but I couldn't respond due to the short length of our breaks), but please don't wait until then to post an answer.  I would like to have a lot of answers whenever I get back home. 

 

Thank you for your help,

Tristan

Has it always done this? If so, best bet is a re-install. If you have played around with any of the mods around chances are that is what has borked your game.

I have already deleted and re-downloaded and reinstalled it after I had the sane problems and it just gets repetitive and annoying 

Im on the most up-to-date drivers

I have installed no mods either

Sound odd but try > find the Watch Dogs .exe file in your installation folder, right-click it, select properties Properties > Compatibility > Windows Vista SP1. Also be sure to grab the latest directX11 files.

Just out of interest this is the only game that is occurs in yeah? Plus I assume if you have anything overclocked etc that its set back to default.

Okay, I'll try that

This is the only game this happens to.  But I do have a similar problem with GTA IV, when I start to play it, I can play it for like 20 minutes and then it just crashes

Did you buy Watch Dogs after the BS they did was revealed OP?  If so you get what you deserve.

I got it before everything was revealed. I just haven't gotten the chance to play it until now

I found out what it was
It was an unstable CPU overclock
