Thread on Steam forums: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=952823

But I'll add the OP to here just for you lazy ones ;)

"I got this game by pre-ordering Alpha Protocol downloaded it but when i try to run it i get a message saying Exception Detected with the background all black and it says something something this could take a few minutes then the message dissapears and the program becomes non responsive does anyone know how to fix this?."

I've been having this issue on my main rig, yet the game works fine on my laptop. (see post #6 in the linked thread)

The Steam forums are pretty much useless for any real technical support, so I figured I'd bring this to TPU's attention and see if anything comes out of it.

Cheers for any help.

Been done before, didn't work for numerous people including myself.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. But alastairuk from the Steam forums reported of testing it on his dad's PC which is using an 8800GTS and got the same problem, so maybe it's not isolated to ATI, but something else as well?

Is there any logs in the application directory that says what the message is for? It could appear in the event log too.
