Used to play the old Renegade a few years ago, this looked interesting so I downloaded it yesterday.
The launcher runs fine, even got a few updates from it. When I try to start the game, either just Launch Game or Join Server, I get the Unreal intro video, and rarely the Totem Arts intro, and immediately crash the game.
Running Windows 8.1 Pro, on an i7, NVidia 230m, 8GB RAM laptop.
Here is my log. http://pastebin.com/MrHWQ7z4
