fixedGame Crashing on Start (for some players)I think the bug has to do with the way certain game folders are named in the script. I encountered this issue on another game, and realized I am using the same script to name these folder. So I fixed the save folder name, and thought it would resolve the problem here too.

But apparently it did not!

NOTE: You may have to restart Steam to prompt the game to update.

Try the Legacy Version 1.1.7

If it is still crashing, you can install an older version of the game for now, this has helped in every case I am aware of.

To do this, go to "Islands of the Caliph > Properties > Game Versions and Betas" and select "Version 1.1.7" from the menu. The game is basically the same, but you will not see the option to choose different languages.
