Hello Everyone,
I have applied all updates and fixes (both permanent and temporary) and I am running version 0.81aV2 with no unofficial mods.
I am using Vista so this could be the problem right off the bat, but I kind of doubt it.

The game gets to the loading screen and crashes giving me this error message:

Script Error in data/descr_building_battle/dbb_slot_fillers.txt, at line 11 column 24

Unable to find building_battle localized string 'none'

I have tried to run the game a half dozen times now and it hasn't loaded the opening menu. I very much appreciate all the help I can get! I am so excited to play, so this not-working thing is killing me.
