    I was able to play this game for a few hours yesterday but now, after having done 3 unistall/reinstalls and following steam troubleshooting steps, the game won't launch. I keep getting the "game unavailable" error whenever I try to launch and there isn't a .exe app to launch from either. Is anyone else having this problem?

    Nope. Have yet to have any problems that anyone has seemed to have. Have spent a good 10 hours so far in the game and crashed only once but that was before they patched it to the actual release version. So Dont know what the problem is for you except to just wait a day?

    @McShank: I suppose that's really all there is to do. When it did actually launch, I did really enjoy the game. It just sucks not being able to play a game I paid $50 for.

    :O 50$!!! GMG.com had it going for 33.97$ after tax for pre-order which is the only reason i bought it so soon. I know there are still alot of glitches going on but to just give it a day or 2 to get it all patched up. ATM for anyone who had pre-ordered it they cannot use the ripper mod as it was broken upon them getting rid of the developers version.

    I wish I had looked around a little before buying on steam lol. Just get too dependent on the convenience of purchasing through them.
