Game launched OK from installer, I changed resolution to high and restarted the game to take effect. Now when I start the game I get message box saying that file mss32.dll is missing and then game crashes.

Any kind of help is much appreciated, maybe someone had this problem?

My OS is Win8.

Hey I posted a potentially useful link in another topic before with same issue, see below.

Specifically the third section, "The game crashes with an error about MSS32.DLL"

Hope this helps, if you haven't given up hehe
