Not the only one

I've tried everything I have read - turning off AA, changing my systems sounds playback quality to 24 bit 44100Hz
I even tried lowest possible graphics settings.
What is weirder, I think the length I have been able to play seems to have decreased each time I try again! Now I can't even load my saved game.
I appreciate there are often bugs on launch, but the sheer volume of people having troubles of one sort or another seems huge. Rubbish way to spend my Friday evening, might go out...

{edit] Not having the same problem as Ryomitsu - mine just crashes to desktop, no errors. Running Win 7, 64 bit, GForce 570
