holy * man....I found something that worked for me and I don't quite understand it yet.  lol youre gonna think I am crazy, but go to your homescreen, right-click, display settings, and change your display res to 1600x900.........lol it worked for me and I finally launched.  I was able to switch BACK to 1080p once in game...makes no sense to me yet but let me know if it works.
