Hi, just as far as of any interest (PoE originally did not start via desktop link but via GOG Galaxy -without the "runtime error" on my rig). I am still on Win7, 64 bit. After starting GOG Galaxy, PoE, due to my configuration for automatical update, was updated (on 30 Oct. 2015). I just started the game via the desktop link (GOG Galaxy not activated) without any problems concerning the "runtime error". Game started and loaded the game save of my choice. If due to the developers, what I assume, thank you very much.

Hi, and oohps, I started the game via GOG Galaxy, took some time for updating and after that, the game started. Unfortunately not in the language I chose, when installing it without Galaxy .... Sound is English and Text (obviously related to place of downloading machine, in my case, German). Anyway, game started and game loaded first save via GOG Galaxy .... ) I am sorry, my mistake, sound is English, text concerning language, of course, is personal choice in game options - clear advantage for everyone, who is able to read ... ;-) Sorry, in case of any misunderstanding. Game saves, btw., load as well, as far as I start the game via GOG Galaxy.

@Paladins, just for info. I experienced the runtime error when starting the game (GOG version) over the Launcher link on desktop without running/starting GOG Galaxy client on Win 7. No problem so far, when starting PoE via GOG Galaxy client.

Hi, I experienced the same issue as SeaSquall. I purchased the GOG version 2.5.0.11 yesterday, and get the same error message. Confusing to me: A family member runs exactly the same hardware configuration as I do (cpu, main memory, graphic card) and mvc++ data are at the same update stage. This applies for graphic card driver and DirectX version as well, but PoE starts and runs on his machine without any problems (?????). This cannot help to solve the problem, I know. I (myself) am currently looking for a solution ... without any success so far, I am afraid ....
