Can't run this game. (Windows 7)
Each time i try to run this game i get an "Application running" error, after i tried to put it on a "Run as admin" mode and Compatibility on Windows XP, before that i got another error, Runtime Error 217 at 001b2e14, help anyone? I also tried to limit the Maximum Memory to 2 GB, i get the Application running error still.

EDIT 28/06/13: My god, it's working. I set it to Vista SP1 compatibility mode, BUT i UNchecked the "Run as administrator" thing. I get an error but i press Accept and it runs! Cutscenes and Gameplay!

which limit of memory did you set it as? its supposed to be 2048. what kind of computer do you have, HP? sometimes you might have to tinker with the memory settings a little.

also, make sure your game is up to date completely.

I verified Cache but that didn't work, i tried 1998 and 2048 on the Memory Limit.

Try to use the following Compatility Option: Windows XP ServicePack 3. This works for me at least.

The game doesn't work on games that have more than 4GB of RAM. You have to tinker with your settngs to make your computer only use 4GB and then you can play it.

I thought it was 2GB of RAM.

Also i asked someone if he was playing in XP with no Compatibility modes, and he was. I'l try that soon c:

Maybe they might fix it. This thread is new, it's a pretty good game so hopefully they do the right thing and fix it. Otherwise I ain;t buying on here again and they should remember these games are easy to download and they're punishing people who are trying to do the right thing here.
