Ast he topic says, for me at least this game is completely unplayable.
When I select "Play", it shows the Square Enix and Obsidian logos, then promptly crashes to desktop.
I have tried:
-running it as administrator
-installing the game from the disc
-installing the game by downloading it through Steam
-installing Microsoft Virtual C++ (all 2005, 2008 and 2010 packages) directly
-installing DirectX
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64, 16gb DDR3, nVidia GTX480 with the latest drivers (275.33).
I have also tried verifying game cache through Steam and, as others have said, I keep getting "1 file could not be verified and was downloaded" -- though some times it shows as a 0mb download.
Really, really annoyed so any suggestions most welcome.
