Witcher 3 failing to load after installing catalyst 15.5 beta drivers.

I'm running an i7 5930K @ 4.5ghz, 16GB Mushkin DDR4 and a Sapphire R9 290 on a Gigabyte X99 SOC FORCE motherboard and I'm running windows 8.1 64-bit with all the latest windows updates.

I've got about 64 hours in the game on the 15.4 beta drivers, and I saw the 15.5 drivers came out today. I've had good luck with beta drivers in the past so I decided to update them. Now, when I click on the "Play" button in Steam for witcher 3, the game starts to load like its about to do the splash screen and the it just stops and dumps me back to desktop. No error messages, nothing. Anyone got any idea whats going on? I've tried switching back to Catalyst 15.4, restarting several times, deleting and re-downloading the game, checking integrity of game cache and anything else it could possibly be, and its still not working! Thanks for any help!

EDIT: I narrowed it down to the fact that I had had my 1080p smart TV in my bedroom and was playing Witcher 3 on that. I had set, in the options for the game to start on monitor 2. When the game started, it found that monitor 2 was no longer connected (The smartTV) and just shut the game down. I thought it might be the drivers, but it wasnt. I had just happened to install them about the same time I took the TV back out in my living room. Silly how such a stupid little setting is overlooked.
