Just to make sure, I have done a full wipe, deleting in AppData, the zip and the extracted files, then redownloading the latest version, extracting it, and launching it fresh.
The issue persists, the log is the same. Log download
I downloaded the win64 version, something that caused no issue in previous versions. I checked just to be sure and my system type is "64-bit operating system, x64-based processor". So I assume there should be no issues there... but as mentioned I have no claims to expertise.
