I tried the demo of Theater of War 3 yesterday, liked the game, and then bought and downloaded the full version. It installs fine, and then when I click on the .exe on the desktop, the hard drive kicks in and the mouse cursor "waits," but then goes back to normal and the game does not launch. I can see that "Korea.exe" is working in the background, but there is no game going, and no "korea.bin" which I believe is supposed to launch after "korea.exe" is launched.
I applied the latest hotfix patch, tried to run the game as administrator, disabled firewall from McAfee for it (I really don't want to uninstall McAfee if I don't need to, especially as I see that another forum user had the same problem, and uninstalling McAfee didn't seem to help) and I don't have any other security/ anti spyware programs installed. I have uninstalled/ re installed everything several times, using Ccleaner to clean the registry between re installing.
I tried also running it on just one core (setting the affinity to just cpu 0)
