I've own the game for almost three weeks and to this day I have not been able to play the game offline (haven't checked online). Heard many great things about the game from my brother and friends, they mentioned that perhaps I just need to wait for the game to be patched but after this much time, I think it's time to come on here and seek help.
When I start the game up, I can check friends list, mess with the setting and no problems. The momment I try to start up a single player match (skirmish or tournament) at the characters select screen, the aduio will begin to lock in a loop then crash. If I try to to start a gane quickly it will load for a few seconds then crash.
Here's the Unhandled Exception for staring the game quickly:

I'm going to try getting a match going online to see if I crash out. I'll post a updated response as soon as I found out what happens (next few mins)
I'm not what you call a computer savvy person, so any detailed help will be greatly apprciated.
