Hello,

This game is crashes right after I get to the first dragon. It simply plays the cutscene, and instantly crashes to desktop. All of my settings are maxed, and the resolution is 2560x1440.

I think this game is technically in a pretty raw manner and its pretty possible that a non standart resolution may cause problems with compatibility. I would try out a 1080P resolution, in term the crashes are continuing you may have other technical problems with compatibility, just be aware that Toren may act cranky with "exotic settings" because simply a pretty raw and somewhat glitchy engine.

I can validate that Toren works perfectly fine, with a few minor glitches, on my machine:
WIN 7
I5 3570K
GTX 970
1080P resolution and a Xbox360 Gamepad.

You would have to turn down the resolution to a lower setting in order to keep it from crashing. I had to turn mine down to 1024 today, & it worked like normal.
