Hello, I am having the following issue: when trying to load the game from the desktop shortcut, i see a small black window about the size of the version checker appear, then disappear less than a second later. there is no error message, there is no log in the event viewer. there is no error file in the game directory!

i have tried this on windows 7 and windows XP sp3. same computer, two different hard drives. all my drivers are up to date.
