hero.exe won't run

[demishock]

Thanks Rahice! Sorry for vanishing after AIM bit the big one. Everything kind of hit the fan around the same time. And yes, I was running it as admin, and it didn't seem to matter.

HOWEVER! After trying out everyone's advice here and also joining the discord, I eventually wound up re-installing the whole thing yet again but on a different drive and this time, miraculously, it seems to be fine. I don't know what the difference even is but as long as it's working, I don't much care, haha.

Can't promise I'll be on with any kind of regularity (have to relearn all the controls... oof) but I'm looking forward to trying to get back into it a bit at a time. Glad this server is still alive and kicking!
