OrionSkybourne1 I didn't realize you'd posted again after replying to your old thread. In the future, you can always add onto an older thread if your new issue is related, for example crashing vs. not being able to play at all.
Does it help to delete Options.ini? What about switching back to DirectX 9 mode? I realize that the whole point of the original thread was that you didn't want to use the default graphics options, but having to do so would be better than not being able to run the game at all. So please test and let me know.
