UPDATE
I found a work around for the installer. I have 2 monitors. My main monitor is a 4K tv connected via HDMI, and my secondary is a 1080P monitor connected vis DVI. when I unplugged the 4K from HDMI, and only had the dvi connected, it worked. I still however have the same crash when opening the game normally. It only launches when connected to the DVI monitor and I have to connected the 4K one after everything is set up. Is there a fix to this?
Thanks,
Louis
