Bought the game yesterday evening, and the game will not launch. I can look in Task Manager and see the DX10.exe will pop up momentarily before the Status turns from "Running" to "Suspended," then disappears. Since then I have tried:

-Reinstalling it
-Reinstalling it on a different drive
-Reinstalling it on my primary (C:) drive
-Running as Administrator
-Running under Windows Compatibility mode (Vista SP2 is preferred, allegedly)
-Whitelisting the program in my Antivirus software
-Blocking the game from contacting the presumably-dead servers via my Hosts File
-Blocking the program in my firewall
-Double-checking I'm not in a Windows Storage Space
-Installing it through GoG Galaxy
-Installing the standalone installer
-Digging up a retail copy and installing that
-Installing the redistributables required for the game

All leads to the same result. Is there *anything else* that I can try? It's frustrating seeing the same failed result after everything I have tried, only to see a lot of testimony online that you can just install the game and have it work no problem.

Any help is appreciated.

I bought the game a while back and just installed it via GOG Galaxy and tried to run it and got the same instant crash without anything popping up. I searched the GOG forums, PC Gaming Wiki, GOG Support, Steam forums and it looks like you found all of the same suggestions that I did, absolutely nothing worked so far.
