It did actually start twice for me: once right after install yesterday morning and then again this morning after several attempts it started once. Unfortunately it then stalled with a "Checking Serial Key" message when I went to start a multiplayer game.
Disabling the intro movies by deleting the .bik or editing Documents\My Games\PP3\PP3WorkGame\Config\PP3WorkEngine.ini and set bForceNoMovies=TRUE and the game then seems to load the menu screen and hang.

this happened to me a few times but for me before i found the fix i would restart my game and be fine...though only play LAN cause not a single MP server ever found
any ways when u try and start lan if it freezes on the serial check hit F1 (opens the little ? help guide) then hit enter and now your bk on the screen for setting up your server and no longer stuck on the checking serial number..
SO WHY ISN'T THERE A OPTION TO TYPE IN THE SERIAL so you don't have to deal with the whole serial check AND the annoying steam message pop up ..yes i know you can stop the steam message but none the less it should be a ONE TIME THING, you run the game first time, put in the serial and be done with it DERPA DERPA!!!
