I'm at my wits end here trying to get this game to launch. I have the Steam version

I'm running an Eyefinity setup of 5760x1080 with an Ati 6790.

If I launch the game from an extended desktop it runs no problem at 1980x1080.

When I active my Eyefinity group it will not launch. I click on the icon and I get the brief 'steam is launch...' box, then nothing.

If I look in task manager the xrayengine process is running, but it will not go into the game. No crash, no error message, it will sit there forever without launching.

I've tried manually changing the user.ltx file for my rez, but still nothing.

It launches fine on a normal monitor, but will not run in eyefinity, which is strange as it seems to run well for other people.

so after much pissing around an nashing of teeth I figured it out. It was Matrox Power Desk that was preventing it from launching in Eyefinity. Once that was uninstalled it ran fine.

I have exactly the same issue, but I don't have the Matrox app you are talking about. Would you have any other idea of what else could cause this problem? :)

I know from reading online CoP doesn't like any overlay, so if you run Fraps, Xfire, or the Steam community overlay it won't launch.

As i didnt have any of those running what I had to do is open up my task manager and disable one optional process at a time until I isolated the issue.
