Game wont activate (gamersgate digital version)

[rosienski]

When I click the play from the splash screen it throws an error
"Internal error (error code: 0xE2003053). Close all applications and try again"
I have disabled my firewall and AV software, I also tried the registry fix mentioned for a different activation error. I know sometimes games have problems launching if you installed them on a HDD or partition that isnt the OS location. Unfortunately installing on the OS disk didnt help. Im not really sure where to go from here. Anyone have any suggestions?
oh also, I'm running windows 8.1

We are very sorry but Windows 8.1 Preview is not a finalized Operating System.
Of Orcs and Men is not compatible with Windows 8.1 Preview.
Of Orcs and Men is Windows 8 compatible and will be compatible with the final version of Windows 8.1 (available mid-October 2013).
Please revert back to your previous Windows version.
