I tried this and it didnt work, it is probably because my issue is that the game opens then encounters fatal error immediately and closes the window

[Lord Brendan]

I have no idea, it closes out too quick, i checked my logs and it cant initialize the client.ddm, and it immediately shuts down so yeah, I hope the devs release a patch or some step by step way to fix it.

Its part of their DRM scheme. This is such an old problem dating back to 2008. There is a way around it but not exactly legal. Back in the old days when you didnt want to use a disc in the drive.

[Lord Brendan]

did this DRM cause the intro videos to crash the game ?
