I just installed this game and tried to start it up, but it never leaves the initial screen that pans across an old map. No sound, no menu, nothing. Has anyone else had the same problem?

EDIT: The issue seems to be caused by my antivirus (Webroot) which quarantines the file Assembly-CSharp.dll because it's flagged as containing the Win32.LocalInfect.2 trojan. Does anyone know if the warning should be taken seriously or if ti's a false positive?

In any game that runs on the Unity game engine, Assembly-CSharp.dll is actually the core of the game itself. OldWorld.exe is just the Unity engine part.
So it's a false positive.

It's a new bug with language detection. New installs will generate faulty settings file, which causes the issue you observed. You need to manually edit the settings file.

I actually spoke to some devs on Discord and they found the issue, which was easy to resolve!

It turns out the problem was even bigger, it wasn't just about loading games, it was about starting new games as well.

They will look into solving it properly, but for now, if you can't start or load games, check the file "GameOptionsSave.xml" which should be in the following folder:

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\OldWorld

If you find this:

<language>-1</language>

change it to this:

<language>0</language>

(while the game isn't running).

This should fix it!
