Quick start crashes immediately...

[Javaslinger]

Not a huge deal, but if I ever use the Quick Start option I get an immediate crash - Distant Worlds has stopped working.

It seems to work fine if I go through the main menu thing.

Running Win 7 64bit with 16GB RAM and a Nvidia 560 Ti

Thanks

Though I think this has happened to me since before Legends.

Hmmm, decided to try running it as an 'administrator' and that did the trick...

Yeah, the game runs as administrator from quickstart, but crashes quite rudely without.
