Crash on start?

edited December 2013 in Game Support

Whenever i load the game through steam it only loads a white box in the corner of the screen Alt text as shown here. I have tried many different ways to fix this, i even contacted steam and TTG (no reply from TTG yet) and to no avail i'm still left with this white box

Is there a fix for this?

    Current Mode: 1768 x 992 (32 bit) (30Hz)

    There's a chance that the game doesn't work at 30Hz, so please try setting your display to 60Hz, if your TV supports it.
    You can also try pressing Alt-Enter to put the game to windowed mode while it shows the white screen.
