Maybe it's Steam's fault, or it's just that my PC is craptastic (Intel C2D E5200 @2.4GHz, 3GB DDR2, 32bit Windows XP SP3), but ever since I installed the god-awful Gabe's crap on my comp the Exanima starts, BM's logo does nicely and then all hell breaks loose - screen flickers, I get error message about rendering interface (if I'm lucky) or it just freezes altogether with some stupid announcement from Steam in lower right corner (if I'm unlucky).
ATM I'm trying to download the 600+ MB 0.5.0 client directly from backer page, hopefully it'll work better. I lived 38 years just nicely without Steam and this pretty detail reminded me why I don't want to use it.... but, just in case that anyone has had similar problems and I'm bashing Valve unjustifiably, please post in this thread. Mayhap, we can help each other.
EDIT: I've managed to turn off everything in Steam, including the overlay, and now I manage to make it all the way to character creation, which is again nicely blocked by the error message. Back to Minesweeper, I guess.
