Can't get game to start (Windows 10/steam/ATI 390x)

[frenchmovietheme]

I had this issue and found that the Xbox One controller connected wirelessly was causing the problem. If my controller was off, the game would start without issues. Might be something that Frictional could fix, however since the game is older, they may not patch it.

wow this was the fix. i didn't have it connected wirelessly, but when i unplugged the xbox one controller and started it, it was fine. thanks guys!
