[h1] There's infestation of bad games in my library! [/h1]

Tough one to get running. Yet A GEM once you do. Win 11 here required EVERY FIX available in the forums. I had to download the Exe replacement off GoogleDrive, and UNPACK all the Zip files in the WORLDS forlder before I got the joy. Also game ONLY runs PERFECTLY for me aspect ratio wise at 720p. Still even with all these issues THE GAME IS WORTH IT :) an overlooked classic IMO only reason it gets such bad reviews is due to how hard it is to get running for many people I am a computer expert though, and it took me about 45 minutes of work. Then another 30 minutes to get the screen resolution perfect (basically just figuring out which is native). unpack the ZIP files in the WORLDS folder https://drive.google.com/open?id=1W-jLYoSZjyEwAtImXDGxGObbs2p0litK ACTUALLY GAME CRASHES AFTER TUTORIAL LEVELS...and even though I invested about an hour and a half straight trying massive fixes, it still choked on me there from my save-file. So sadly, I have to pass this one on to the failure bin as I REFUSE to waste anymore time faffing around without a clear idea of what is causing the crashes. Believe me I tried like 30 adjustments and loads. One one barely got through!

I played this years ago, and have been itching to get back into it again. It would seem I'm running into the same issues y'all having - can't get it to run. "There has been an error executing application. If you press abort, mini dump file will be created in Z:\var\home\me\.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\GenesisRising\bin." (Press retry to debug using debugger) The missing folder issues seems to be fixed - they are there. I do not think Steam should be selling a non-working game; seems like fraud to me.
