I bought the game recently on battle.net as it was on sale extremely cheap and have tried everything that I can find to boot the game. Unfortunately it decides to freeze on the opening cutscene every time i try to start the game, and at the same moment of the cutscene.
I have done everything in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4OQyOk5Nxw
Edit: I uninstalled armory crate and it worked like a charm.
