"The Wolf Among Us.exe has stopped working" - post troubleshooting
I downloaded the game, but after attempting to launch it, the screen goes black and then a message pops up saying "“The Wolf Among Us.exe has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
Per the FAQ list, I made sure that no exclamation marks were present in the path, but the problem persists.
I'm attempting to run the game on Windows 7. Please help.

I apologize for the inconvenience. Below are a few possible solutions:
1) Ensure you have the latest drivers
2) Restart your system
3) Unplug your gamepad (and all other USB devices other than keyboard/mouse)
4) Verify your cache if you purchased through Steam (https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335)
5) Run the game as admin
6) Run the game in compatibility mode (We recommend Windows 98/ME)
7) Reinstall the game
8) Make sure that the Steam application is not set to a compatibility mode (right click on steam and click properties, then check compatibility, and make sure that it is not checked to play in a different OS)
