I was able to play the game on 1.0 without any problems or crash of any sorts. Yesterday when i tried to play, i could get to the main menu following cinematics, but wherever i click after ( new game, load game , etc ) nothing happens.
I have tried to update the game to 1.1 beta 4, but i still cannot get into the game.
can someone please help me
