[FIX] Loading Screen crash at Startup
As a lot of others I've been experiencing crashes at the loading screen whenever I started the game from Steam.

I've resolved the issue by overwriting all the files in the folder using the ones from the not-legal release of the game. NO CRACK HAS BEEN APPLIED, and the EXE is the ORIGINAL; the problem therefore resides in some broken files in the steam release that for some reason is not present, or uncorrupted,in the underground version.

Doing so I managed to succesfully start the game.

update: no random crashes registered this way in an hour long session; smooth fps too.

Spec: i7 4770K @ 4.2 Ghz, 16 GB DDR3, GTX 780 Ti OC

Now you will have problems like random crashes.

May or may not, Most cracks in games are just there to bypass authentications Such as Origin or Steam. But I would have to agree it'll probably just end up crashing every so often as the exe is unstable and not compatible with the legitamate Steam AP ID and a few other files.

Let us know how it goes, if just because it's interesting when the legit copies are broken and the illegit ones work fine.

yeah, how dare he try to post a possible solution for a large scale problem that is screwing over thousands.

seriously, be glad people bypassed the regionlock and are trying to help resolve the issues, so you can play tomorow at launch.

Idk how crack groups quite make an exe bypassable, I do know they are skilled in coding DLLs and exes to be able to do it. Who knows they may have found some stuff that was broken in the legit exe and fixed it themselves. Wouldn't doubt it.

seriously, be glad people bypassed the regionlock and are trying to help resolve the issues, so you can play tomorow at launch.

1.) He's editting game files (by overwriting them with pirated and probbably editted copies)

2.) He's tricking steam and bypassing regionlocks.

3.) Is asking for assistance in getting a game to launch, when steam made it so it wouldn't launch until it's actually released.

There's no excuse for piracy, or for breaking steam's SSA.

LOL at the racism hate troll attempt. Anyway as I stated above the game .exe is the ORIGINAL one, thus it must be something else entirely form the exe.

He can do as he pleases, he owns the the game. Go kiss some asss more kid. Lol.

For all intents and purposes I may be in Japan using a VPN tunnel with italian IP; the crack itself does not modify anything but the .exe and .dll files. Buying the game is hardly piracy especially when done in agreement to the steam SSA. Anyway good luck to you sir in making everyone lose faith in humanity.

He does not own the game.
He owns the rights to play the game, as laid out in the SSA, and EULAs.

Keep trying though; Might want to form coherent arguements rather than falling on ad hominems though.

Check his Steam library kid. Us Steam users all do it to stalk and find proof. Another political doouche that only believes in the right thing to do. I believe in anarchy when it comes to certain governments and industries, do I make you mad?

yeah, and in doing so, he found out that the original exe is botched, and that an exe from a pirated version works, so obviously he found a flaw that the devs can now look into and work towards fixing it, if it werent for people like OP, it would take a long time before the issue might be adressed.

atleast OP is trying everything he can to get the game working, and not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and white knighting on the forums in every thread that has the word "VPN" or even a remote hint in it.
