I have windows 7 pro 64 bit and Act of War won't start at all. Does anybody have a fix on this?

It says ActofWar.exe has stopped working then another error box says "the procedure entry point FTC_Manager_LookupSize could not be located in the dynamic link library freetype.dll". This error box keeps on popping back up when you click OK, only solution is ending ActofWar.exe from task manager

they said that act of war doesn't like more than 3gb of ram, so ii have to get a program that reduces the amount of ram windows recognizes to 3gb and restart, and voila, it works!
