EA has acknowledged that this problem is due to the game aggressively checking for updates online: One of the most common problems posted on various gaming forums as well as on official support forums was that many users were getting a black screen before the menu is loaded or sluggish performance with the in game menu. I myself didn’t have any problems with the game so far (FYI I haven't’ played it for more than 15 mins so my experience may not count) but it looks like a lot of people are experiencing crashes and black screen problems with the game.
On the 30th of October, we reported about Command and Conquer Red Alert 3, the latest installment to the popular C&C franchise.
