So I have the Steam version of SoC, and it crashes either before the splash screen disappears or after the screen turns black. An error box comes up behind whatever is currently on the screen and doesn't respond to being clicked on, so I have to force close the program. If I try to run XR_3DA in compatibility mode or run it as administrator, steam fails to start it with the message-
"This game is currently unavailable (application running)."
