We should be getting a review code so that our caster Samsai can give it a video for you folks, so look out for that in future!

Quoting: Quote from HadBabitsThe game is currently broken for me :(
Was it working before?  Might need to try a delete local content in Steam and re-download it.  I found an issue in Monsters where they said Steam's OpenAl library in the Steam Runtime libraries was cause of my game saves being corrupted sometimes.

I've got more details here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/255870/discussions/0/666825525419441072/?tscn=1384281731

I did as you said, the first mission looks a bit more as it should, I can progress for a bit and there are enemies and guys I'm supposed to save. But there are still invisible walls in random places. I couldn't save one guy because he was right behind one. Which was just as well because the same barriers prevented me from going any farther into the cave.
Sounds like all blastable "sand" is invisible for you.  I can't imagine it being anything other than a graphics driver issue or corrupted files, both of which are verifiable.  Steam can do a file integrity check, and you can swap between closed and open drivers.  Using nVidia GTX 680 w/ closed drivers, no issue here.

I don't believe so. I watched a playthrough and there's nothing where I keep seeming to hit walls. As for the drivers, I'll have to play with it and see what I get. If all else fails, I'll just throw my hands up and swear at AMD :P
