seems like a font problem... from which place of the world are you?

I'm in Quebec City, Canada.

I'm forwarding your problem. I dunno what may cause it.
Maybe though you could try to redownload, as sometimes it's just a matter of a corrupted download?

Does your username contain non Latin alphabet letters?

Thanks! I uninstalled the previous game and installed a new one and the same error appears again.

What do you mean by my "username"? My computer's username perhaps?! It does have accents in Hélène, could it be the problem? I never had such problems with your games before and my name surely hasn't changed since then

It looks like the game will work if you remove the accents, ie use "Helene" instead

Although, have you ever played Undefeated? This game should have triggered the same error message.
My other ones, nope.

Wow it worked!! Actually, I first tried with Marie-Helene without accents and it didn't work so I changed it once again to plain Marie and it worked. It looks like the game doesn't like hyphens in names!

And you're right, the same mistake happened with Undefeated, but I was too busy at that moment to even think about solving it. Now I'll know what to do when I wish to play that game too.

Merci!!
