I purchased Reus via Steam today.

When launching, everything runs perfectly fine until I try to start a new game.  The loading screen appears and the bar reaches about 3/4 progress, then the game throws an exception and crashes to desktop.

After googling for common fixes, I've uninstalled VisualStudio and XNA, then reinstalled the versions linked in http://forums.abbeygames.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=663

I've reinstalled the Arial, Tahoma and Tahoma Bold fonts from the links here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/222730/discussions/0/810924774406726564/#p1

I've rebooted multiple times.

The problem happens in fullscreen or windowed mode, vsync on or off, at any resolution the game allows me to set, sound enabled or disabled.

Here is my most recent crash log:
