If you delete this file, will it solve the issue?
Hah, think I edited my comment to say exactly that at the same time you replied. Yes that fixes it and doesn't seem to cause any issue with the game so I presume it wasn't actually being used, although obviously I haven't tested extensively.
I see. Alright, thanks for letting us know! :)
Same here, wouldn't launch except as a background process until I deleted the file in question.
