Character's aren't loaded

[WINSDK]

Even though the VN starts, none of the characters can be seen.
It does error out a backtrace but I'm struggling to decipher it.

And just like that. There were no issues for months and now they are back. I am going to try to find some time to look into this tomorrow. Please hold tight until then.

Absolute madness. This is above our pay scale, @WINSDK. We mostly just trade in Linux-specific issues here. Although this might be a WINE emulation issue, it's more likely to be a horrifying low-level issue with the Ultimate Edition installer. Quick! Someone grab @leycec a bucket. 🪣 🤮

Would you mind reposting this same issue on the official Beast's Lair thread? If so, you're likely to receive prompt and cordial assistance. Oh – and please avoid name-dropping Linux, WINE, or us. I think they kinda want us to disappear...
