Anyone else having the game just shut itself down about a minute into playing? Can't even get through the first level

Even after relaunching the problem persists.

Below is a link to the image: https://imgur.com/a/9PXU3Pk As you can see the fire details are not working as i would expect and the walkers are not showing. I'm unsure why this may happen, has anyone seen this before?

Just purchased Caesar 3 from Steam. Loaded it to my PC , Screen icon appears . Clicked on this then a screenshot appeared with a box saying 'LAUNCH ' . Clicked on this produced a quick scree flash but nothing else. Any idea as to what I am doing wrong ??????...
