When I tried installing the game using the install.exe program, the setup just stalls when it comes to the .dll files. The setup itself does not crash but is no longer responsive to inputs, forcing to be closed via Task Manager.
When unzipping the game files, using Windows’ default unzipper program, it seems that there is an unexpected error when unzipping the .dll files. The game files were taken straight from the website.
Interestingly, this error never appears when unzipping using 7Zip. I think the .dll file bugs are related to each other and does not play well with Windows 10’s default unzipping method. I am able to run the game after unzipping using 7Zip. See the attached screenshots below for the bugs spotted.
My current OS environment is Windows 10 desktop. My only anti virus is Windows 10’s default Windows Defender. As far as I can tell, Windows 10 Defender did not raise an alert or anything in regards to all the above actions.
