Dom 3 crashing on startup

New PC, wanted to start up the game again. Get to the point where it asks for my CD-Key and it crashes to desktop.

Latest video drivers are installed. Latest Dompatch is installed.

2 very powerful Nvidia cards running in SLI
Desktop is in surround mode to span across 3 different monitors
Windows 7 64 bit.

Any ideas? Need any further info?

Re: Dom 3 crashing on startup

add -dd to the desktop icon for starting the game.
Then do it again.

That puts debug info into the stdout.txt of my Dom3 directory. (WinXP) so Im not sure where it ends up on Win7

The very end of that file might have a clue why it crashed

I don't think that option works in Win 7...tried adding that in on the shortcut, didn't seem to do anything. There were no files created in the Dom3 directory after the crash

That may depend on where you installed & where you looked under Win7. Simpler if you don't install in Program Files.

To clarify: FWIW, you might uninstall completely, and reinstall picking somewhere like C:\Dom3 instead of default. Win7 plays with stuff you install in its default location.
