Okay, I finally got some time off work/hobbies to purchase/download this from Steam.. (I did cancel my preorder due to CE inavailability in Finland)
I'm unable to launch the game due to AVG 2011 reporting an infection in rendobj.dll
AVG resident shield which is actively scanning accessed files blocks one file (rendobj.dll) due to a possible infection by "Win32/Heur"
After some googling I thought it must be the heuristic scan method..
so I already tried disabling "Heuristic scan" which might cause a false alert, then I rebooted my comp to be sure that heuristic scan is off but I still can't get the game running.
then I also did remove the file that was reported as "infected" and redownloaded it from steam. I also ran the "verify integrity of game cache" but alas I'm still getting the same message..
right now I can only think of 3 possible scenarios for the problem which are:
1. my old rig actually is infected by some unknown virus
2. rendobj.dll contains some really malicious code
3. AVG has marked the file as a threat so disabling heuristic scan doesn't take effect (which I doubt as I redownloaded it)
and of course I'm upgrading to Win7 when I have time to do it, probably next weekend but I still would have liked to try this game with WinXP before the upgrade..
