The additional window that pops up saying "Installing Mamba, please wait."
Tried moving it to C: drive and turned off Windows Defender, still getting the same error.
Any idea as to what could be killing it?
To be honest I don’t know. But we can try to manually install mamba.
It should manually install mamba at the right place. We will see if it fails or not. If it doesn’t fail, you can try again using the installer (it will probably fail again at the install_mamba part but might succeed creating the environment! If the environment is correctly created, the game should work.
Maybe a problem with the file then… You can try to redownload the game and see. Or, you can manually download micromamba at https://micro.mamba.pm/api/micromamba/win-64/latest and replace the micromamba.exe by the one you downloaded (make sure to rename the new .exe into micromamba.exe
