    I enter the game and play for like 15 minutes and the game just crashes into black screen, have to force shut down everytime

    there hasnt been even once i can play through the game continually for 1 hr, it always keeps crashing into black screen

    anyone else encountered similar problems?

    so far i have only seen one complain about this besides me

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware-m17x/670175-m17x-r4-black-screen-crashes-ati-7970m-9.html


    thus this has been really annoying since it might be a rare issue

    the problem seems to be a 7970m only problem
    other ati cards seem fine

    Are you trying to play with an OC? For some reason, I cannot play Crysis 2 with an OC. I seem to be the only person with this problem....
