When you clicked on New Game did you get the choice between Classic mode and story mode?
I think it's not the language because I tried from a fresh game and I didn't get issues.
no i do not get a choice it just goes to that error screen instantly as i click new game
Ok, well I'm running out of ideas...
Try moving your game folder elsewhere, like on Desktop for example.
will do
haha! that worked... it must be interacting with another games save?!
Holy! This was my last resort.
I don't know what exactly was the issue but enjoy the game now
