0 bytes folder or intalation error fixed

Hi everyone, First, I want to sincerely apologize to everyone who downloaded the game and found an empty folder – no .exe, no files at all. That was a frustrating and confusing experience, and I'm sorry it happened.

changedWhat caused the problem? When I set up the game on Steam, I mistakenly configured the Windows depot to only download for users running Steam in English. If your Steam client was set to any other language (French, German, Russian, etc.), Steam didn't find a matching depot and gave you an empty folder. This was my error, and it had nothing to do with the game itself.
changedThe fix is now live. I have changed the depot to [All Languages]. Now everyone will download the full game files, regardless of their Steam language setting.
changedSet your Steam client to your preferred language (or leave it as is – it will work with any language now).
fixedYou do not need to switch to English anymore. The workaround some of you found (switching to English) was clever, but the real problem is now fixed at the source.
changedIf you still experience any issues after reinstalling, please post in the Steam Discussions or contact me directly. The game should now work for everyone, in every language.

Hi everyone,

First, I want to sincerely apologize to everyone who downloaded the game and found an empty folder – no .exe, no files at all. That was a frustrating and confusing experience, and I'm sorry it happened.

What caused the problem? When I set up the game on Steam, I mistakenly configured the Windows depot to only download for users running Steam in English. If your Steam client was set to any other language (French, German, Russian, etc.), Steam didn't find a matching depot and gave you an empty folder. This was my error, and it had nothing to do with the game itself.

The fix is now live. I have changed the depot to [All Languages]. Now everyone will download the full game files, regardless of their Steam language setting.

What you need to do:

Uninstall the game (if you still have the empty folder).

Set your Steam client to your preferred language (or leave it as is – it will work with any language now).

Reinstall the game. You should see all files, including the .exe, download correctly.

You do not need to switch to English anymore. The workaround some of you found (switching to English) was clever, but the real problem is now fixed at the source.

Thank you for your patience, your bug reports, and your help in figuring this out. I'm very sorry for the trouble, and I appreciate everyone who stuck with the game.

If you still experience any issues after reinstalling, please post in the Steam Discussions or contact me directly. The game should now work for everyone, in every language.
