Help! My friend bought Brink at midnight release, he got an extra free code and gave it to me. I've tried installing it on both my computers and i get the same problem, but when my friend starts it on his computer, works perfectly! I can't get to my desktop at the moment because i'm cleaning it and i'm lazy taking a break. But here is the crash report for my laptop (Yes i know it's not the greatest laptop in the world, simply because i use my desktop to game) but anyways! Here is the crash log:

I've tried turning my triple buffering on, off and on default for both my computers, fully updated both my computers, and it's still happening, I've also reinstalled it multiple times and from what i can see the problem starts at:

Please Help!

Sorry forgot to mention, i click play on steam, i see the splash image and then a little window in the top left, then i get the crash report

having the exact same issue. This is on both steam forums and splash damage forums as well and should be looked @ asap

If i can just have a developer to acknowledge this thread please?

Due the new fix to the loss of character saves and the improved crash reports, i'm going to link my updated report here:
