Were you using the itch application by any chance? I couldn't reproduce the crash until I tried playing from it.
If not, are you playing the game on windows 10 or maybe in linux with wine?
I wasn't, also I'm on W10. I think I found the issue, I think when I unzipped the rar, the unicode for the french dictionary filename got messed up, its "fran(garbage)is.txt on my PC currently. If you want to reupload a version that uses normal characters for the filename, I would gladly test again on my machine.
