Hi there!  I heard about this game from a friend and decided to check it out, but unfortunately, I can't...erm...check it out.  Every time I manage to finally get past the incredibly fickle loading screen (it will sometimes try loading for several minutes, so I just exit the program and try again; usually works), I immediately crash upon loading the world. 

I've seen the posts telling me to "run the updater", but there isn't that option anywhere.  Assuming, of course, the updater and the repair option aren't the same thing.  It's not on the launcher, it's not in the folder in the Programs list, it's not in the actual game's folder found in program files...where in the world would it be?  I've tried changing my target thing in properties, but my computer told me that what I added made no sense and made me get rid of it.  ((EDIT: Got the command to work, but running the updater changed nothing.  Still crashing.))

My computer runs Windows 7 (x64, but I run the x32 version of the client, since I know that's usually more friendly...) and is more than capable of running this game.  It's not fullscreen, either!  What's going on?  I really want to try playing this game because the character creation is the most creative I've ever seen!  Thanks for any and all help!
