I've tried both the x32 and x64 versions of the .exe but can't seem to run it. Just the same white screen. I also found some post saying that there were read permission issues, but every time I set it to not 'Read Only' it reverts any changes.

Just wondering if anyone has had a similar issue.
where are you unpacking the game to? Ideally it should be in a location like "C:\Games\", definitely not "C:\Program Files\" or any other system-managed directory.

I've tried a few. One on my secondary drive and the other directly on to C:\Downloads

The issues I have seen in the past were usually related to Java. Usually it was someone that went to Java's website, downloaded the latest and greatest version and then tried running the JAR version of the game. As I mentioned before, the game uses a specific (and OLD) version of Java, which was why I suggested getting the EXE version.

The only things I can think of to suggest:
Try running the EXE as Administrator (right click the EXE and run as admin should be on the content menu).
Try uninstalling any version of Java you have installed on your machine and then try running the EXE version.
Check your AV programs, there is always a (unlikely) chance that your AV decided it didn't like the game and is blocking it.

The only other thing I can think of is to check the file properties (right click the EXE and select properties), sometimes Windows will 'know' the file came from the internet and it will block them from doing certain things. There should be a line on the General tab about the file coming from another computer and there should be an option to unblock it.

I don't think any of those suggestions are going to work, but you never know. Good luck though figuring it out.

You can also try my build (linked in my signature) just fair warning it has default settings that are at odds with lots of people, just check out mod options at the main menu and change "minimum age" back to 18 if you prefer. Otherwise most things are left relatively vanilla out of the box.

My build mod is confirmed to work with Windows 11 and is Java 21 (instead of Java 8) and performs better.

The fact there has evolved an entire meta-narrative on this thread about how shit the dev is at actually developing their game and to the point people are making excel spreadsheets....christ...its pure internet and its absolutely hilarious.

But seriously though...this game has been "in development" for so long ive moved homes and had actual kids irl, wtf is taking so long? what is Inno doing with all that time and more importantly money she's been milking out of all her donators for almost a decade now?
to be fair, this is hardly an internet thing, people have been performing statistical analysis on literally every regular pattern in existence, Inno's apology posts are only slightly less reliable than a pulsar's radio bursts, so we could at least find some use in their spreadsheet for timekeeping
