I have a very similar problem, however I do not get an error window with information like that. Instead I get the generic windows "This program has stopped responding" window, and I must close it myself. Crashes every single time in this manner after clicking the play button, the game window will open to a black screen as usual but will immediately fail. My best guess is that something with the hotfix broke my launcher. Will I need to reinstall the game entirely to get it to work?
