I just installed the game and the first message that pops up is that there is a critical error and that it will prevent me from saving to protect my old saves... Anybody know what is going on? I did a verified/repair and that did not fix it at all.

Classic or the Muha remake?
What OS are you on?
Care to post a screenshot of said error?
Or is it a simple box ''critical error'' with no log and/or description?

i have the same problem:

I am playing the Muha remake on Win10. After the loading screen from starting the game, the Error Message from the attached Image pops up. I have no mods installed, but have all of the DLCs.

Edit: (i have attached a screenshot, but for whatever reason, it doesnt want to show it, so i am using a quick online image uploader and a link to said picture, sorry for the inconvinience)

Try deleting the local folder (c:\Users\<myuser>\AppData\Low Roaming\Muha Games (Better back it up beforehand, just in case)) and restart the game. Maybe that will help.

Aside from that - you can acces some logs via the quick-launcher. Doubtful, but perhaps there is info inside why the critical error appears.

Good luck.

thx for the advise ^^ unfortunately, it did do nothing to solve the problem.

opening the log file, it gives these errors:
