Crashing with an AMD Radeon?

[sarcanums]

Tried to play Two Worlds: Epic Edition today and to my displeasure, it crashed soon after startup due to some error with Windows? Not entirely sure of the issue. Anyone know a fix for this so that I can play the game without any problems? Would be nice if Steam games worked upon purchase. What might be relevant specs for my comp:

Processor: Intel Core i5
Video: AMD Radeon HD 7900 series
Monitor: Generic PnP and 32-bit 1920x1080
Running DirectX 11
Windows 8

PS. The game Gothic, also has a similar issue. It'll actually go to the game sometimes, but the graphics and screen are wonky so it's basically unplayable.

I had an crash on startup with windows-error too. Have you tried the nvidia physix fix for older games? It helped me (and yes, i have also a Radeon 9700er series card and Win 8).

Not a single crash yet. You do need to install the old legacy physx befroe the game will work though.
