    Black screen on startup

    I just bought the game last night, downloaded and installed it but when I launch the game the splash screen shows then a black screen pops up and nothing happens from there.

    I've been reading about it and a lot of people are having the same issues.

    Is there a fix?

    PLEASE HELP ME, $60 and I can't play!
