This usually happens when something on your PC is preventing the game from launching properly, even though the web version works fine.

Let’s go through a few things you can check:

🔧 Try these steps:

• 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

⚠️ Important:

Since the web version works, your save is fine — this is most likely a local PC issue, not a game bug.

💡 If it still crashes:

Please provide:

• Your Windows version
• A screenshot of the game folder
• Whether you’re using any external mods (MelonLoader, etc.)

That will help us narrow it down further.
