The game won't launch.

[ElRaja]

Hi,
I get this game in a Humble Bundle months ago and I finally decided to run it!
However, I can’t even launch the game. After the first window inviting me to choose my display preferences, a black window appears in full screen and nothing else happen. I have an error message telling me that the program won’t respond.

Here are my specs:
- Intel I5 2430M @2,4GHz
- Nvidia GT 540M 2GB
- 4GB of RAM
- Windows 7 x64

I saw in many threads on steam that some people have similar problems.

Could you help me?

[mario if he real]

LOL! EXACT SAME SITUATION! EVEN SPECS AND HUMBLEBUNDLE! LOL

[ElRaja]

Yeah and I tried to send an email to the devs (as they said in another thread) but still no answer for the moment!

[ehrep]

same

[ElRaja]

Still no response from the devs...

Exact same story here. Bought on Humble Bundle...didn't play till today...black screen. The only good thing is if I let it sit on the initial screen without making any keystrokes, I still get the card drops. Big deal. Would have liked to play this...

Same here. I'am playing on SteamOS. Here's dump from /tmp/dumps/steam_stdout.txt i found this:

I got a new PC and that fixed it. The devs really need to get onto it. Compatibility is very important.
