So my Play button is green, I clicked play, and nothing happens.

Then I closed GoG and double clicked on .exe, also nothing happens.

Is this happening to anyone else? I'm on Windows 8.1 fyi.

Yup, I just made a post about this...

Is there something that I need to do to get the game to actually unlock? It still says: Waiting for Release.

Galaxy has downloaded the patch, but when I try to install it, it says: Game installation not found. I'm pretty bummed right now.

I'm not even using Galaxy, and the game still won't run. I'm waiting to see if a solution pops up.

Is this due to the game being locked? I mean some parts of NA not May 19th yet.

It's not releasing at midnight here, it's releasing globally at midnight GMT. It's not the 19th ANYWHERE in NA yet, or even the western hemisphere.

I see, I just updated my original post
I used the shortcut in the main folder. After a few seconds it starts. Main game and the 1.01 patch (and the german language files). I hope it helps.
Even with an Nvidia GTX 470 it looks nice.

Do you have GOG Galaxy installed or not?
Yes but I downloaded the parts manually and started it without the client.
