This error pops up during the prologue, if I try to skip the prologue and input a name, or when I try to load a V12 save file in a safe zone. I can't start the game. Anyone seen this before? I'm able to run Desolation and Reborn's MKXP/game-z.exe fine, so I'm at a loss for what the issue is. I'm on windows 7 64x bit and I've already uninstalled/reinstalled all my runtime libraries.
