Hi - sorry about the trouble. It sounds like either the download or the installer ran into some problems along the way. Could you uninstall, delete the game folder for good measure, then re-download and reinstall, and see if that helps?

Re-downloading fixed it, thank you. :)

Never seen an installer install and the end resault not work even after a folder delete though.

Glad that solved it.

Just suggested that to be absolutely sure nothing was left over from the previous install. I mean, it was supposed to work the first time around, so something must have gone wrong :)

No I mean I had tried deleting the folder and re-installing before. It was the re-download that fixed it. :)

Ah, I see - sorry I didn't quite understand. Right! I guess the file got corrupted during the download.
