Configuration Tool does not open/crashes
- Download and Install Microsoft Net Framework 4.0 from here.
- NOTE: If the above doesn't, please run Windows Update and install ALL Updates available. This way you can make sure it's not a "flaw" in your system that's causing the problem.

Crash when trying to play online ranking mode
- If you have more than 100 friends on Steam, even if you are offline in chat, online mode will cause to crash the game. Remove friends to have 99 or less, and the game won't crash anymore.
- Loading a level in the singleplayer, exiting it and then starting it in ranked mode may reduce the chances of a crash.
