I installed the game from GOG, not using their launcher. I'm running W7 64 and DX11. When I try to launch the game, that little ding dong error sound plays and I'm looking at a black screen with the white windows cursor on it, which I can move around. Pressing the left mouse button or escape causes the screen to go full black and only the tast manager will get me out of there.

EDIT: When I hit alt tab a little window comes up saying "Click OK to compile shader cache" or something like that, but if I do the game stays minimized on the task bar, I can't bring it back up and the task manager lists it as "not responding".
