Yeah sounds like its a steam/permissions thing. Try this (from the technical FAQ):
* Right-click the game in the game list in your steam Library.
* Go to the Updates tab of the Properties window.
* Uncheck "Enable steam cloud..."
* Press Close

ok steam cloud is disabled, the game still crashes after I press start recording, have to kill it via task manager(never crashed before).
It is also not possible to play your track, after pressing select nothing happens, just as before..

try starting the game as administrator (right click the launcher) or disable UAC at your own peril.

did both, still won't work.
that is really annoying.
must be something wrong with my computer, but what??

Great idea m8 +1 just did mine

Just a bump, i think this needs keeping around.

Now we have a Black Death track, so the website should be updated as promised. ;)

Will see what I can do! Will try to make the necessary changes this week but I'm away from home at the moment...

I don't have the game yet, could someone post screenshot(s) showing graphics options screen so I can ensure all options are included in survey.

I've updated the site with a new survey which includes the Black Death track. The old results are still available for posterity...

Let me know if you think I've missed anything important from the survey.

Thank you, done.
