I'm on windows 8 so i followed the "lulwut" method to solving my problem but alas the game still will not work even on frysa's method so I've come here to ask for some assistance with my problem since i couldn't find anyone else with this problem. When i load up the game in compatibility mode it changes the resolution and then pretends to load the game after around 30 minutes it closes itself no error or anything. If i run it with no compatibility mode set however it goes to the black screen and seems to work, nothing happens for half an hour and it just closes once again if it helps im running on windows 8.1, if any further information is needed please post here or pm me thanks in advance Epsilon, the scrub <3
