So I was thrilled when I saw that is game avaliable as I played it a lot as a kid! I instantly bought it but it won't start, nothing happens at all! Not even a black screen or a flicker.
Running windows 10 64x

EDIT: It was AVAST stopping it from running for some reason, weird as they didn't even notify me. Anyway, it works now!

Mine won't start up at all even after white listing.

I get a similar issue.
Game tries to start up, screen turns black, IC prompts: "Please Wait", Windows: "IC has stopped working".

Warnings.log seems to be looking for a DataMOD folder, despite none such existing (clean install)

This is what my warnings text document in the IC folder says.
