    I guess I will ask it since no one else has.

    You have bought the game, right? It's not a Pirated copy?

    Yeah, pirating games just decreases the amounts developers make and therefore reducing the probability they will make another

    The Game should be released on September 28 on the PC, You must be really lucky or pre-ordered the game to have it already? @_@

    Not saying he did pirate. But a pirate crying on forums because a game he pirated keeps crashing is just classic. Then going to official forums at Steam or developer's/publisher's forum to get tech support is just icing on the cake.
    - Hint: If you did pirate, just keep quiet about it. If it doesn't work, buy the game.
