When I start a new game, there is nothing but a book on the screen. I click the book and it opens and I can choose:

"Main Menu"
"Continue Game"

Clicking either one does nothing. If I click all over the page I eventually get lucky and can start a new game. Apparently, "New Game" isn't displaying. I finally found the hot spot and can now click the blank part of the page every time to start a new game. The exact same thing happens when trying to save and exit, although I haven't been able to find the exit or "quit" buttons and have to CTRL+ALT+DEL to close the game.

I'm guessing its related, but there is no "settings" menu that I can find. the videos are in an extremely low frame rate it appears and I keep getting a white bar down the screen after each cut-scene. Without a settings or options menu I'm not sure how to change the resolution or anything else. I've launched the program twice and found this to be the case both times.

Any ideas on what to try?

Thanks.

I'm on a single video card (but its a dual board card - GTX 590). Do you mean to disable it just for that game via the Nvidia control panel? Knock on wood, I've never had to monkey with the driver game settings for any game save Witcher 1 ;)

I'll check tonight. Thanks for your help.

OK, disabling SLI did resolve this, however it seems I had to do it at the system level. (I would much prefer setting up a games profile with the Nvidia control panel, but the options I set for single GPU didn't seem to help).

This is the first time I've ever had to disable SLI for a game. I'm hoping that isn't the permanent fix.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you guys, this is my problem too, GTX690 SLI ON. I hope the developer fix the game to avoid change options in soundcard and graphics card, but the game look great by the way.

This is a disappointment, considering that games like unmechanical are capable to work fine with a SLI configuration

EDIT: *Partialy solved* Looks like a sound problem. Game started fine with external DAC and amplifier.

My game doesn't start at all. Just black screen, waiting cursor and crash. Compatibility mode and administrator privilege don't help.

Windows 8 32bit
pentium dual core e6600

This is weird. It worked with soundcard yesterday and not with external DAC. What a lousy programing. I've been able to run a few games on W8 without a hitch that needed hacks on XP. Not sure if this game will even run today...

Edit: Oh yes, what a surprise, it doesn't work. Again...

Looks like disabling all unused sound devices in "Playback devices" might be the cure.
