Heya, sorry for the extremely late reply! Hope it's working properly now then! Yeah, the game is mostly catered towards people who've played the original boardgame before, or the digital version of it, so there isn't really a tutorial. My apologies you had to look around for the instructions!
I've not heard the game crashing after entering a player name, so I hope/presume it's just your antivirus being weird about this.
