Just as the title suggests: I get a connection lost error (ID 1.500) when I start the game, which force shuts it down. This happens just a few seconds after the intro video starts playing. If I skip the video and try to create a new user account, I get the error establishing a database connection, whereafter a few seconds I get the same connection lost error.
Following the possible solutions to this proposed at http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/app/290710/discussions/1/35220315698599837 I've tried verifying the game cache, uninstalling and reinstalling the game entirely, restarting steam, disabling my firewall, and disabling my antivirus entirely, but none of these had any effect.
I'm running Windows 10 64-bit. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
