Started the game normally, then crashes right on the beggining (the part where the mc trains someone). Anyone else with this problem?

Played about 3 hours so far no crashes at all, you could try the repair option in the settings see if that helps. but so far no glitches or crash on my end.hope you will sort it out!.

I have run the Steam version in offline mode and no issues. It should be the same version I think.

I did do one thing, but could be due to my own system issues. I went into my NVidia graphic controls and lowered the FPS to 60. I had to do that for Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect LE 1 cause my temps were going high (something to do with frame rates or some memory issue over 3gb, not sure) and that solved it.

I mainly did it for ME: Shadows of Mordor as a precaution I think (or it may also have revved up my fans, don't recall). It may not even need it, but I don't want to buy a new system lol. (not that I can afford one right now lol)
