Eh as long as I can play I don't mind the extra step I was able to figure it out on my own but only because I decided to look around in the game folders a little ( was the first place I checked) so I am immune from the point and laugh

Doesn't mean I will ignore folks having the same issue nor does it satisfy my innate curiosity about why it happened. However I am not going to waste a lot of time thinking about it either chances are it will fix itself somewhere along the way from the Tech update or somewhere else. I don't run mods and don't plan too so bugging the moders about an issue that has nothing to do with there mod that I don't use anyway would be rude , selfish and unneeded/unwanted...
It is an oddity though being I play many RenPy games and have not run across this issue before so it has something to do with the way DC's team wrote that exe as it relates to my system( and now we know at least one other persons system, likely more if you play the odds). Doesn't mean they got it wrong just means they did something many of the other coders didn't do.
