Necroshabang
So I got it, installed it, ran it. Maxed out the graphics options and set to my desktop res. Hit apply and it crashed.
Now the mother f_cker won't start. I've removed and reinstalled it a few times, no changes. Cleared all the reg entries I could find between one reinstall, didn't help. I keep getting the same message saying something about a file in c:\games\someotherfolders, even though the game is installed to E:. There ain't no way I'm installing a game to C: either, everything is optimized for 3D apps to be launched from E:.
You ever get this? I've searched the forums but their fixes mostly point to "update your graphics driver and try these other mindless steps".
