Cannot Start Game Without It Crashing

[InsrtCoins]

I can see the title screen with "Anna" written on it. Once I click, it takes me to a loading screen that crashes the game every time I try to launch it. How do I get past this screen?

I have the same problem (small black useless window after selecting extended edition on the opening splash screen and trying nearly every frigging resolution in the Unity selector). Only installed the game today so I'm assuming it's patched as per the developer's 'fix' but still can't launch the game. Based on what I've been reading I assume the stupid, useless little black window is the broken product key field that I'm meant to type my key into before then creating an account that quite frankly sounds as retarded as u-play; I mean I've quite obviously purchased the game from steam yet the authors STILL insist on using DRM that infringes on MY rights to play their bloody game - that I purchased. Did I mentioned I purchased it, through steam you know the guys the developers paid to distribute their product? Yeah I thought so.


*sigh*, anyway

Okay so I got it working (clicked 'play' in steam instead of the executable shortcut I'd pinned to my taskbar). Heaven forFEND we try using executables. Now I can *play* it I just can't *exit* it but that appears to be just another bug. Anna must have been coded by the work experience kid.

good grief. Overtly anal DRM, menus you can't quit from, double cursors, key-bindings that break the game and a colour palette that makes engelbert humperdinck's smile look dull. The REAL horror here is not the *game* it's the...oh wait.

[ReamedBySteem]

addendum: Despite the frustratingly annoying install/DRM/schoolboy-error glitches, I am (finally) enjoyng the game (you know, when it's not scaring the bejesus out of me :( ). The music in particular in very beautiful. 3 stars.

p.s. you can still shove your DRM up your jumper.


kind regards,
