I think you should apply the update, maybe. http://support.frictionalgames.com/entry/70/

I forgot to mention, I already had the 1.0.1 update but yet I downloaded and installed it again. The problem seems to be solved. (At least the game started, I quit the game in the main menu to write this post) Anyway thx a lot

Edit: After writing above post i started the game again and same freeze. I tried reinstalling the patch and starting again but nothing changes. I'm exactly where I started, exact same hpl.log

Can only suggest that you start the game from an earlier save as it sounds as something very specific might have gone wrong with the save you are trying to load.

It seems like your graphics card has screwed up somehow because according to the log it no longer supports vertex shaders, which is a must in order to play the game.
It might be that your graphics card has simply broke while playing or gotten overheaten. You could try reinstalling the drivers and see if that helps.
