    Steam automatically updates the game when it is online, unless you have chosen for it to not.

    There are no manual patches, only automatic.

    Steam automatically updates the game to the newest version normally. If you right-click on the game in Steam, go to properties and then the update tab, it'll show you whether it is updating automatically or not and you can't be in offline mode obviously or it won't update.

    If does seem to be updated to the latest version let us know and we may be able to work out why it is hanging on startup.

    My Games -> Right-click on game -> properties -> Local files -> Verify integrity.... and Defrag files.

    When does it crash?

    At the video startup or main menu?

    Check your anti-virus software. I've had mine block ETW once, and I had repeated crashes at startup until I fixed it.

    That should all be fine.

    Now, what is your processor?

    Dual core 2.6ghz...what? Intel? AMD? Intel Celeron or Core2Duo?

    No it couldn't.

    It might run slow but not starting at all is quite different.

    That said, I have no idea, have you tried deleting the local game content in Steam and then installing the game again?
