I got the exact same problem. Also, Dinger replied with a possible solution, which may work for some but for me... Nothing. Have you been able to solve this problem? I really want to play, but i just can't. I have been trying for 2 weeks to find a solution and i tried a lot myself. Nothing seems to help.
wft am I doing wrong? I played for days last year...
Now, i can't even start up the damn game!
Really, no one knows the solution?
I hope technic is trying to solve this problem soon...
