So I installed the game and followed all of the directions in this thread. It now works fine starting up. It then goes to the sprite logo but once it passes that and goes to what I assume to be the OP, it crashes to desktop. No errors and no warnings. I thought it might just be a codec issue so tried updating K-Lite to the newest version but same issue. Going to try several other things when I get back but do anyone perhaps have an idea? It seems like that patch works so there must be something else going on I guess.
