    SOLVED: I had the UAC set to minimum and the game did not load, I changed it to default (which has more restrictions) and now the game curiously works after clicking OK in the first window of the administrator privileges.

    I sincerely believe that you should fix this, it is not normal that a game with the minimum UAC does not work and with the default UAC (which has greater restrictions) it does.

    It is the first time in all my life that a game gives me problems for having the UAC to the minimum (and I will continue having it to the minimum), the default UAC is really a nuisance and 90% of the Windows users have it deactivated. This is why many users, like me, are unable to run the game, proof here:
