[1.0] CTD on starting scenario.

Run game, Scenario -> Fallen Enchantress. Game plays intro, displays map and immediately crashes. Tried two times, both with same result.

Game was installed through Steam in 0.981 beta and updating through Steam since then. Directory "My Documents/My games/Fallen Enchantress" was deleted before starting 1.0 version, no other files was manually modified.

Some of the error and warning messages in that diagnostics file suggest missing files for portions of the interface - I'm guessing that's what errors like this mean:

No string tables in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Elemental Fallen Enchantress\Data\English\*.tips

WARNING: SetMultilayerPictureFrame FAILED because mwin with given ID not found - check the tag for this control in DesktopX

WARNING: SetButtonText FAILED because mwin with given ID not found - check the tag for this control in DesktopX

WARNING: CResourceManager::GetEffect could not find file: gfx/fx/fxo/post_camerashake.fxo

CDXSASEngine ERROR: EnableEffect failed to find effect edgedetect

I would try verifying your game cache files because that error and some of the others make me think it didn't install properly. Steam has a built in utility to check for and correct that:

Well, Steam integrity check did the trick - it said that all is well, didn't download anything, but after starting game Steam run some installer. After that, scenario starts fine.
