Just bought and installed the game on my Win8 (not .1) PC, the game start, and crash without pop up or even opening a window. I can get a glimps of a tropico 3 process in Task Manager, but nothing more.

I ve located the CRASH file, which I ve posted below, and it seems I m missing a config.lua file, anybody had this problem?
