Golden Recticle of Death

[AWL_Spinner]

No traffic on the other thread, so shameless repost:

Ok, got the game yesterday (woohoo!), installed and tried to run....

I get the golden target recticle of death and then nothing else (I've tried leaving it for a few minutes).

Tried deleting the cache folder in 1C softclub, and setting the Render to D3D10 in the conf.ini. Tried a reinstall from Steam.

Any further tips welcome.

Just how long is the golden recticle normally on screen for, anyway?

Cheers!
