Has anyone here played Men of War? It looks similar to CM and I’m tempted by its low price on the Steam sale.

I figured it out! On the theory that, as with the other case, an audio program might be interfering, I closed Sonic Studio 2. Once I did that, it worked. So that was the interfering program. It must have indeed been interfering with the DRM since the demo worked with Sonic Studio 2 on. So if anyone else encounters this problem in the future, look for Sonic Studio 2 or similar audio management program. Sonic Studio 2 is an Asus program that came with my gaming computer so I suspect people with gaming PCs may be especially vulnerable to this problem (as with the aforementioned MSI issue).

Here's a screenshot of every process I have running. I have Norton, but it always gives me a message if it blocks something and I exempted that folder from it so I don't think it should be that.

At IanL's suggestion I'm putting this here, so apologies for repeating the post from the CMBS forum. I picked up a copy of this today but when trying to run the program or the activation utility I get this message (see attached) and immediate CTD. Please help! I have an i7-7700, GTX 1080, Windows 10, demo ran like butter. I have opened a support ticket as well.

Ticket opened.

Thanks, I had actually seen that post and don't have the offending program so still stuck.
