So I've just bought Damned on Steam and installed it. I don't know what the hell is going on with the game and it's updates, but not being able to launch it in the first place is very frustrating. When I try to launch the game I get this: Gyazo.com

Please HALP!

Ok solution found. I launched the game. Now it usually crashes when I'm w8ing for host to start a match...

Go to Steam/steamapps/common/Damned/Redist/python-2.7.5.msi
So basically install Python 2.7.5

Hey I am having the same issues with launching from Steam. Snaeik says to install Python 2.7.5, where would I find this?

You can find the Python 2.7.5 installer inside the steam directory the game installed to. Or you can go to the Python website itself and download it there.

My problem is different from everybody else. My game wouldn't start either because Python wasn't installed. So I went into the game directory, and tried installing Python with the 2.7.5 installer that came with the game. My problem is that when I try to install Python, it gives me a message saying I don't have enough hard drive space for the install. Now I tried to install to my secondary hard drive that has around 500gb free, so obviously I have more then enough space. But since it wants to install some files on my primary drive as well, even though I tell it not to, it still wants to put around 30mb on there. Now that drive has around 1.5gb free so that should still be enough space to handle what little it wants to install there.

I can't seem to find any other occurrence of this problem anywhere on the internet, or these forums. I even tried downloading the installer from the website itself, but that gives me the same error. Does anybody have any ideas?
