I also unfortunately couldn't get this to run. On starting, I can see a command prompt open with a message:
"BLT_lang_init: 'locale' data path for translations not found, continuing"
After a second or two, the command prompt closes and the game doesn't open. I tried to play this several months ago (before the bugfix) and had the same problem, but with the bugfix release I thought I'd try again but no luck.
It's a shame - it looks very fun!
