Sorry about the delay in getting back to you, we’re working on troubleshooting this issue now. The first thing I’d recommend trying is opening the op.dat file in your install folder in Windows Media Player - while it’s just a standard MPEG-1 video file, if it doesn’t play on your machine that could be what’s causing the hang at launch.
I’m investigating another angle right now where it’s possible that the game defaults to full screen mode at install, and bugs out when it tries to go fullscreen at a non-4:3 resolution. Will get back to you on this.
Edit: Seems the game defaults to window mode on a fresh install. I still think the problem has something to do with video playback; we’ll look into this further and contact the Japanese maker for assistance if we can’t get it cleared up soon. Apologies for the terrible inconvenience.
It probably wouldn’t hurt to try forcing your monitor into a 4:3 resolution and running the game, as that still might be the culprit, though at this point it’s hard to say.
