I do not personally own this game, but I have spent several hours trying to get it to work on a friends machine. The game either crashes with "unhandled exception" error, or just hangs indefinitely at the loading screen. Either way, you won't get into the game. A TON of searching about this issue reveals that mostly hyper-threaded Intel systems have issues, and more people using AMD CPUs report success. This issue persists with the original disc game, steam release, and most disappointingly the GOG release. Some people have had success turning off hyper-threading or forcing the game to run on a single thread using software, but I found the former too cumbersome and the later to not work. I have recommended GOG to people over and over again due to what I thought was a commitment to ensuring the games sold on their platform still worked on modern systems, something sorely lacking from Steam. GOG, please either fix this game or remove it from your library for the sake of your reputation.
