Actually, I don't think the above instructions are relevant since the new update. The api entry in the game_options.txt file no longer controls anything; the API to choose is now controlled through the only line in the game_api.txt file.

But, as far as I know, the button on the Launcher should change this file correctly. There were some bugs with the first test release where it didn't, but that bug was fixed early on, and I haven't heard of any more bugs like that.

In any case, there is a common problem with ATI and NVidia cards where it crashes on entry, right after the "Connecting" window pops up. This crash occurs regardless of the API setting. It will eventually clear itself, if you keep trying; or you can accelerate the process by removing the game_options.txt files.
