    i downloaded the game and was able to play it perfectly fine (given, lots of crashing, but i'd just blamed the wifi network i was on at the time) on my old laptop, but when i got on my new computer today and tried to to download it, i continue to get a popup that says:
    "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
    i'm not sure what's wrong or how to fix it..
    i tried following the same steps in downloading it as i had on my laptop to no avail. could someone please help me?

    so.. i'm sure no one cares, but i did figure out the problem if anyone was having the same trouble.

    the problem was because my computer's user was written in another language.
    for some reason one of the files then decided to create another "user" file and it led to having weird characters as the name.
    because of that, my computer couldn't download or read anything from that file.

    long story short, i had to completely deconstruct and factory state my computer
    (the whole nine yards resorting the drives)

    for some people though, it may help you just move the file from your downloads folder to your C drive
    and then running the exe program from there. for me, it would install then, but the game itself wouldn't load.
    ultimately leading to an unfortunate reformatting of the computer.

    regardless it works fine now!

    Update - works after I transferred it to a USB portable drive and install from there.
