Game will not start

Hey guys. Ignite will not start at all; the game window opens briefly but then suddenly closes with no error message at all. Can anyone help me out?

Crashing at start-up was a problem associated with Windows Blinds (a Windows skinning utility) when Ignite first came to Steam, but the last patch should have fixed that.

Have you 'verified the integrity of game cache' or whatever it's called? Sometimes an installation can be corrupt or missing files and verifying the game cache can put it right. In case you don't know how - right-click on the game's title, select properties then choose the local files tab.

Is your graphics card driver up-to-date?

ADDENDUM: Just came across someone else reporting a crash at start-up. He found reinstalling PhysX from the nVidia site fixed his problem.
