Well, I reinstalled once again, and for some reason this time it worked. Thank you very much for your assistance and patience @Streetwind! I'm very glad I don't have to get a refund on this game. All the love!

It still does the same thing that the other .exe does. Which is the mouse shows that it's loading something for but a moment, then nothing happens.

I think I figured what I was doing wrong. 

This line was wrong: "E:\Games\Vintagestory\1.16.5 --dataPath E:\Games\Vintagestory\Data"
Lemme try it right.

In goes in Target, yes.

But that just turns the shortcut into a folder shortcut that goes nowhere.

And where do I write this? It wouldn't be in "Target" or "Start in", right?

I've created an exception for it in the firewall, nothing changed however.
How could I "start working with startup arguments to retarget the data directory to somewhere it can write"?

I see, okay. They're actually running windows 11, while I sadly "upgraded" from win7 to 10. But lemme check permissions through the firewall. 

Thanks for the swift response, but there isn't a folder named "vintagestory-anything" in the %appdata%.

I don't use any antivirus programs. Also it's installed in a separate HDD I keep for games in a folder made for it.

I just copied the game folder to my roomate's computer to test it, and it works for them for some reason. Their computer is inferior hardware-wise, however.

   When I click on the .exe of the game, nothing happens. Simple as that.

   I tried looking at the task manager, and the game pops there for a second then gets suspended. No error messages or anything like that.

   Also my computer outdoes all the system requirements of the game.
   Help?
