So I just bought the game, and it keeps crashing at the first loading screen. What's my best course of action?

I'm having this same problem. The "rdroid_gnome release build has stopped working" error. Nothing I've tried has worked.
The only thing that works to prevent crash on boot on my machne is setting the resolution to 1024x768

Not working for me neither. Even in 1024x768...
Hope somebody have a solution...
So much for working on modern pc setups lol. This is sad. Same error and I have tried many things. What GPU and CPU you all running?

None of the provided solutions have worked. Trying my own things to no avail. Next step is asking for a refund for the broken release.
I have the same problem... If not resolved in a couple of days, I'll be seeking to be refund...
Same here. I have tried on a gaming rig and my surface pro 4 and nothing. rdroid_gnome release build stopped working.
All I know this is terrible. Not the first time I have had a game from GOG not work that they say was to work flawless. This is as if there was no testing involved. If not fixed soon refunding this wasted of time. Should of just got the ps2 version on my ps3.
Figured I should update on this. So I have the game running now, I just changed the settings to 1080p and it seemed to work fine for me.

They can't test it on every config out there. If you're a pc gamer, you have to be used to fidgeting around to get games to work or improve their performance.
This is not a console game, it's a very old pc game that should work on newer computers if you actually put some effort into it.
so they mentioned that pretty much anything with an overlay will cause issues. Nvidia, discord, steam, and windows xbox thing. I can get it to work often now that i uninstalled the windows overlay and when i close all the other programs but the issue continues to come back occasionally so i have to sign out of windows 10 and get back into it and try again. Its far from ideal but it does get it to run sometimes.
So did anyone end up finding a fix for this or????
Been googling for the past hour trying all these fixes but no go?

PLZ HALP!

Got released the same day on PC, genius.
What i meant was that the version we got here is from the old pc version of the game, obviously.
And pc games need tweaking thus not being "plug and play" console games.

Having the same "rdroid_gnome release build has stopped working" error. This game worked fine for me a couple of days ago. Was there an update or hotfix that might've broke this??
