For the few of you still having issues, here's a couple of things you can try.
First off, make sure the download completes fully before trying to open it. Even if it shows 100% and pops up in the folder, give it a moment to make sure it's fully done before doing anything with it.
Second, when unzipping/extracting the game make sure you extract all of the files contained within to either a new location or first fully delete an older version and use it's location. It's easy to accidentally click on just a file or 2 when unzipping/extracting and only those files will be extracted as opposed to the full game. Just double check that first.
Third is to make sure your antivirus and other security programs you have installed are not flagging any or all of the files of the game. Sometimes an antivirus might flag a single file and remove it without your knowledge and end up breaking the whole game. Check into that and even disable it for a couple of minutes while extracting and setting up the game with the crack.
Fourth is to only use the provided crack that is for the version of the game you are wanting to run. They are currently not cross compatible with each other so a crack for one version will not work on a newer or older version. It will simply cause the game to not run or not authenticate at all.
If you have gone through each of these and it still don't work then there might be another external problem causing issues for you. Another thing to check is if you are trying to run the game in VR, then I know the Steam VR service automatically runs for me to be able to use my headset with it. If you don't have Steam or the Steam VR program installed then try that before trying to run in VR. Don't install the game to your headset either as that will do nothing for you. It must be streamed from your computer to your headset. For my Oculus I need the desktop program to be open first. In it's setting you need to enable programs from unknown sources under the general section. And finally in the library I actually add the .exe file manually so I can run it quickly from in my headset. This may differ for you depending on your OS and headset though, so these options here might not work in your case.
Beyond this I'm not sure what your problems could be.
