I realise there is a BF3 thread already but I have not seen many people with this problem..... and still no solution.

I cannot access the video menu in BF3, as soon as I click on it either in multiplayer or single player, the game instantly hangs. I have tried rolling back drivers, reinstalling latest drivers, disabling 1 of my GFX cards and fiddling around with the NVIDIA graphics menu before launching the game.

This is the only game out of the 30 or so I have installed on my PC that there is a problem with. It's a small problem but its really grating on me that I cannot access one of the games menus.....

Any help is greatly appreciated :)
 
If reinstalling doesn't work a workaround would be to use one of the config editing tools. You'll be able to change pretty much all the options that you could access through the video menu.

Not the best solution but short of reinstalling windows (have you tried this with your OC turned off btw?) it may be a way to deal with it.

Reinstall did not work, game still hangs :(

I have already underclocked my GPU's uggg.... is a format and fresh windows install the only way :(?
 
Try running in window mode then using the options then putting it back into fullscreen mode.

****ing this all over. I had this issue with eyefinity and single screen

From now on - BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY VIDEO CHANGE - press Alt and Enter. Let it switch to windowed mode. Make the change. Make sure you press "Make full screen change" or whatever. And also go back and say yes to when it says "save" - if you don't do this, it will hang.

Then press Alt and Enter again! Hey presto, video changes without the hanging bull****

Have fun!
 
delete the "my docs/BF3/Settings" and "my docs/BF3/BU"

Folders, When I say delete, i mean move them to the DT then relaunch the game. It should recreate them. See if that helps. If its a config issue then uninstalling wont work as it wont delete the cfg files.
