Serious Sam 3 shows only a black screen during movies and the actual game. Menus appear fine and sound can be heard (so the game is running - it's just a display issue). If I enable FPS from the options, the FPS does display - but the rest of the screen is still black.

Output from command line:

I noticed this as well with AntiAliasing Option override set with NVidia-Settings utility. I have the exact same video card.

Ddamyon 2012-12-26 github

Thanks - I checked my settings and I had set this too at some point (dont remember when). Setting all antialiasing settings back to "Use application settings" fixed this bug for me.

Xxerebus 2013-02-16 github

Sorry to bump this, but changing the anti-aliasing setting is not a fix, it is a workaround (although this workaround has made this a lower-priority issue). The expected behavior is that the game will work properly even with anti-aliasing override enabled. Perhaps the bug should be resubmitted as "nvidia-settings anti-aliasing override option causes blank screen."

OOliverSwift 2013-02-16 github

I agree, this is definitely a workaround not a fix. This issue should remain open.
