At any rate, I’m glad the game is working reliably now. :) Thank you for the additional testing and update!

If I use 7Zip to extract the archive, using the .exe makes Norton remove an “assembly”, and the game doesn’t run properly. If I use Windows 10 (the right click menu) to extract the archive, the game runs properly with no interference with Norton.

No idea what moving the Licensed_Art folder did, or if that was just a coincidence. I can’t replicate that fix, so it was probably just a coincidence.

Probably just Norton misbehaving.

The Windows build is by far the most popular, but this is the first report I’ve had of this. (For that matter, I run on Windows too and didn’t see it in my testing.)

I’m not sure which is more interesting: that you had the problem, or that moving the Licensed_Art folder fixed it. :D The program should have no idea that folder exists or what it is, but… weird.

I’m glad you got it working, but if you don’t mind a couple of questions: What version of Windows are you running and can you clarify a bit on what you mean by the executable didn’t work properly? Thanks!

The Executable didn’t work properly until I put the “Licensed_Art” INSIDE the “Demon_Data” folder. I think you simply put the new art in the wrong folder… Oopsie! I even got the new icons after I did this.
