Before I go to tech I'll ask in here. Anyone know what I can, if anything, do about this?

What kind of Graphics card do you have?

I just figured it out. The patch made it unplayable. I reinstalled it without the patch and now it works fine.

Nice you may want to send support a message about that.

Thanks man, you just saved me a whole lot of trouble. Had the same problem with the game crashing on startup and I already thought it's because I have Intel HD graphics but then I tried installing it without the patch and that works perfectly fine - except that in the unpatched release, there seems to be no gamepad support. I just bought an XBOX controller today and wanted to play The Swapper with that. Hmph :(

(The controller works fine in other games, Stick it to the Man for example)

Sorry for my bad English!

I had the same problem and found how to resolve it.

Go to the option "switch user", create a new one and delete the ancient one. (I don't know why there was an ancient user before I started the game....?!???)

And it works !!!!
