Symptoms: launch game from galaxy, launcher appears with few questions, click launch - nothing happens. No black screen, no flickering, no sound. Same when launched manually from explorer, same in Administrator mode, nothing helps.

Reason: programming fail. I made sure when buying computer to have english windows version. Yet some games insist on starting in czech language - maybe because my timezone setting, or whatever. Same with this one, but it doesn't have czech translation out of the box. Normal behaviour is to fall back to english. This game seems to use GNU gettext for translation that certainly does this, unless it's screwed-with too much.

TLDR; solution - go to <game dir>/data/strings, copy english.mo to (in my case) czech.mo. Or take czech.mo from unofficial directory.

Try playing as administrator.
