Glad to know the replacement settings worked :).
The problem you’re facing is regarding the “Check Updates” setting. For some reason, Windows 11 behaves differently when the game sends a message to Itch to ask what is the last available version. When this message fails because of connection issues or refusal, Windows 11 will send a different response to the game. Because of the different response, the game crashes when it receives it.
By disabling the “Check Updates” you effectively avoid the issue, but version 1.35 will have a permanent fix for this.
