Hi i bought this game a while ago. like at least a year ago. I'd played the demo and thought it was good so i bought it.
It didnt work so i gave it up for lost. i've only just recently been able to install it.

The game goes fine until i try to play it. I can change my preferences and fidle around with the main menu. then i try and play it. It goes through the opening scene aand when it starts loading the game just shuts down. there is no warning or message. it just closes every time i try to play it.
Has anyone had experience with this sort of problem and do you know how to fix it?

It may be that your computer is not powerful enough to play. post your specs and we can let you know.
If you do meet the specs, you may need to update your video drivers.
