Game crashes for me on startup after latest patch...

[dnickels]

I played earlier today before the patch with no problems, after the patch my game crashes on startup during the intro movie (around the time when the game is finished loading and about to go into the main menu).

I have attempted both DirectX11 and DirectX9 with the same results.

Nickles, your DXDIAG looks good (the video card, IS below minimum, but not drastically, and SHOULDNT cause this issue)

Can you post a hijack this please?

I did a system restore back to a couple days ago to wipe out the steam update and then went into offline mode to keep it from auto updating and I'm able to play again. I'll give it another shot after they put the next patch out.
