No save file would be a problem, wouldn't it?
Which operating system are you running on? I've only tested it on Windows so that could be the problem.
Im running Windows 11 22H2 (released in 2022), so that could be a problem. I also uploaded the log of opening the game and clicking start here.
Alright, I'll see what I can do to help you get it running.
Windows 11 shouldn't be the problem so that's good.
