Game freezes at intro. Skipping intro makes the game freeze too

Pretty much what the title says. Didn’t have this problem with first versions during the launch back in February. In fact the only problem I had back then was the long loading time before Baptism of Fire.

Now with the newest game version and From the Ashes DLC? Can’t even get to the main menu. I’ve tried literally everything that I could think of. Runned as administrator, verified game files, reinstalled game, updated and reinstalled video drives, confirmed that my antivirus and firewall weren’t blocking the game, tried to launch the game through Geforce Experience…

Anyone have/had the same problem? I’m at my wits end here and help would be greatly appreciated.

Rig:

GeForce GTX 760 (192-bit)

Intel core i5-4440 CPU @ 3.10GHz

7.92 GB RAM

Latests drivers(411.70) and running Windows 8

Reposting this from steam forums because I was told to do so.

I am also having this issue on my GTX760 rig and its bothering me verymuch. Help needed.

Regards,
Shane.
