Thanks for the solution. I'll try this workaround on Win7 and provide a feedback. UPD: The trick with second admin works on Win7 Ultimate as well. However I don't understand what is the damn difference between "old" admin (created at Win install) and "new" one? And why in the world this issue popped up in only in 0.32 release?

In my case the game is steam-installed on a different partition (D:\) but the problem with 0.32 still remains.

Yesterday I had the same problem with start of x:ce 0.32 HF2. I reinstalled the game from Steam and tried to launch the game using .exe from parent directory - failed. I went to assets/mods/xce and tried to launch the game using .exe in that directory - failed. So I decided to do the following: 1. I downloaded the previous version 0.31 (including balance and settings). 2. Unpacked the files over existed ones in assets/mods/xce. 3. Launched the "older" .exe file. 4. There was a warning message (attached) BUT! the game started. And my question is - with the above mentioned "tricks" do I have a normal 0:31 version or it's a "Frankenstein"
