The GOG version of SCWWIIWAW crashes to desktop every time I try to start it. First time I've ever tried running it despite owning for a little while.

Only got the resolution setting pop-up the first time I started it up. Selected my destop res and fullscreen. CTDs each time when I hit "Play". Now the res settings window won't come up despite uninstalling (incl. personal settings) and re-downloading.

Also set the SC exe to Admin privileges but still the same. Likewise when running the exe directly from the folder.

GOG info says it's v1.13

Disabling my anti-virus program seemed to work. Although it previously stated the game was whitelisted when first started. *shrug*

EDIT: Although it minimizes itself when I hit ESC on the intro.
