Problem upon launching

[MonkeyPunch]

I used to get this problem on my older computer because it was the graphics card. Try following the steps:

1) Open Setup.exe in the RO folder, and, from the top menu, select one of the D3D options, instead of the ATI Radeon option. Click OK and restart RO.

2) If problem persists, try turning off "Crossfire" and updating your graphics drivers.
