I bought the game, downloaded and activated, but now, when i start the game the screen stays black and then a box pops up and says that the game has crashed.

But my demo works fine, so that's the problem :S

EDIT: Got it, it tried to load my customized language file, but now it's working fine Big Grin
What language are you playing in?

I would suggest removing the settings file, which is at the same place as the log, and see if that helps.
Now i'm playing in english, but it tried to play in finnish (i had a finnish translation in demo) and because the full version didn't have the finnish language file i think thats why i crashed.
