Assault Squad Retail (Gold Collection) - authentication crashes after Windows 8.1

[arslaan]

Resolved it on my own after looking up Securom threads.

The lack of error messages confused the issue which was:

Bitdefender Total Security 2013
Turn off Active Virus Control and Securom launches.

Glad the game works. Finding irony that a security feature is flagged with virus like behavior however.

Hope this will be of use to others.
