I downloaded it last week and I realized its not optimized for windows 8 but it cost money and Id love for it to work... anyways it works fine right off the bat all the menus everythings 100% normal till I try to start a new game. Then it gets to the first loading screen and about 8 seconds into it the game crash's and theres a windows error message. Any suggestions? Ive tried all the compatibility modes run as admin, different resolutions, etc... At this point im thinking my only option is a patch of some sort (If it exists)
