Subject pretty much says it all. Tried several things from the forums, so far no good. Logo comes up, loading screen comes up on the wrong monitor, loads to about 66% then crashes and restarts. EXE running as Admin too. Not much else to tell other than it worked better when it first came out. Any ideas?

Hello A51,
as far as we are aware, this only happens when the Steam Works DRM check fails to recognize correctly that Steam is running.
In this case it simply quits the game and tries to restart it together with Steam.
If it then again can not find Steam running it causes this infinite loop of death.

If you run into this problem, all other Steam Works based games show this behaviour.

There is not much we can do about on our end, because this is how Steam Works internal DRM Check works and if it fails in a loop it does that.

But we got reports of this in the past and they were almost always fixed by either
- Making sure you have connection to the internet and steam is running while starting the game
- Restarting the computer
- Or if none of the above work: by completely uninstalling and reinstalling Steam.
(Your save games, settings and other data wont be impacted by this)

Please try this and it should work again, but if the issue still persists you might need to contact Steam support.

Cheers
