Have you tried these yet?
You should try the number 5, Launch the game as Administrator.

1. Extract the game properly
- Make sure you fully extract the downloaded .zip file
- Do NOT run the game directly from inside the zip
2. Move the game folder
- Place the game in a simple path like:
  - C:\Games\MDRG\
- Avoid folders like Desktop, Downloads, or folders with special characters
3. Check antivirus / Windows Defender
- Your antivirus may be blocking or deleting files silently
- Try temporarily disabling it or adding the game folder to exclusions
4. Install / update required runtimes
- Install:
  - Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables (both x86 & x64)
  - .NET Runtime
5. Run as Administrator
- Right-click the game .exe → Run as Administrator
6. Check for corrupted download
- Re-download the game from the official page
- Make sure the file size matches

yes i did everthing you listed

im sure i extracted it properly
i moved it to a simpler folder like you said
i disabled windows defender and i dont use any other antivirus and i disabled it while downloading to
i installed both microsoft visual C++ and .NET Runtime
i tried to run it as administrator several times
i did download it from the offical page 3 to 4 times when it didnt work and made sure file size matches and when i extract it it goes up to 1,15 GB i cant confirm if it should be this much bc i couldnt find any confirmation abt it in the official page

Thank you for providing all the details, this helps a lot.

Since you have already:

Extracted properly
Moved to a clean path (C:\Games\MDRG)
Disabled antivirus
Installed VC++ and .NET
Tried running as admin
Re-downloaded multiple times

👉🏻 This is no longer a basic setup issue

🔍 Most likely causes at this point:

1. ⚠️ Windows Security / Smart App Control (VERY likely):

You mentioned earlier:

“failed to load il2cpp” after Smart App Protection

Even if you turned it off, Windows may have already blocked or quarantined files

👉🏻 Please check:

Windows Security → Protection History
Look for anything related to:
- GameAssembly.dll
- UnityPlayer.dll
- the game .exe

If found: 👉🏻 Restore the file and add the game folder to exclusions

2. ⚠️ Missing / blocked game files:

From your screenshot, your folder looks correct, but:

👉🏻 The key file is:

GameAssembly.dll

If this file is:

Missing
0 KB
Or corrupted

👉🏻 The game will instantly crash like you described

3. ⚠️ Extraction issue (very common on Windows 11):

Even if you extracted it:

👉🏻 Try this:

Delete the entire game folder
Re-download again
Use 7-Zip or WinRAR (NOT Windows default extractor)
Extract to:

C:\Games\MDRG\

4. ⚠️ File size confirmation:

You mentioned:

“it goes up to ~1.15 GB”

👉🏻 That is normal after extraction
So your download is likely not the issue

❗ Important conclusion:

Since:

Web version works
Fresh install didn’t fix it
You even formatted your PC

👉🏻 This strongly points to:

Windows blocking or interfering with Unity IL2CPP files

👉🏻 Final thing to try:

Disable:
- Smart App Control
- Windows Defender (temporarily)
Re-download + re-extract using 7-Zip
Add this folder to exclusions:

C:\Games\MDRG\

Run the game again

💬 If it STILL crashes:

Please send:

Screenshot of Protection History
Screenshot of GameAssembly.dll properties (size)
Confirmation if Smart App Control is OFF

We’ll go deeper from there 👍🏻
