Trying to go full screen but all I get is a black screen each time along with it trying to resize and suddenly the game freezes up with the black screen still there. This just happens in the main menu where we can change settings such as  graphics settings.

Can you check if disabling origin in-game has an effect on this please?

Origin menu, Application Settings, Origin in-game, set it to off

It stopped the game from freezing but for some reason it just doesn't want to go fullscreen. All I am getting is a black screen after I save the options.

Also got this.

On menu screens especially the framerate can skyrocket way above the refresh rate of your monitor and this may be your issue.

Can you take a look at the following post and let us know if limiting the framerate has an effect on this please:

Tried it just then. Same problem. I go Full screen > save options and then my screen tries resizing it and then a black screen appears and it's pretty much unresponsive from there.

same error here and tried everything, also a clean installation of drivers and game...so, are there any fixes or do i just have to uninstall it and stop playing?

(before the "autumn patch" it ran great)

I've found the only way to make it playable is delete all save info, launch the game then set it to 'boarderless' mode. It now loads but having it borderless is far from ideal.

I hope they fix this soon.

On a side note Giants Shadow sucks, why did they make another Suez?

I tried what you suggested, and am able to start up the game (in-game Origin stuff)

I haven't restarted the game yet, but will do so in a few.

LOL the SAME thing happened to me, the exact same issue happened out of the blue and even talked to an useless representative via chat. Worst customer support ever.
