Hm, alright first off, the save files are in GameDir\Profiles\YOURUSERNAME\Save\
When you consider reinstalling the game, please use this (Skidrow's) release:
MAGNET
If you have any Torrent client, it should add it to the downloads, atleast it works on me with BitTorrent.
Try to just install the Resources and after that the MAIN. (No additional patches/fixes, IIRC goblins patch IS included in the mod)
If still does not work, I will consider just uploading my game instead, that should solve every problem, if there is any with the .7z's, although it may take a while until I package all of the gigabytes that there are, but firstly I think it would be good to see if this release is any different from the skidrow release you have tried.
Oh, and did you try compatability mode, btw?.
Win7 and XP SP3 should work fine.
With all these problems Win10 brings us, I might have to set up an VirtualVM in order to find out if Win10 actually fucks things up here. win7 <3
And still, after all this stuff, the LOGfile not having content is actually the most strange part for me.
And don't worry about the .bat, it does not work eitherway, I still have to create an actual Installer instead of an simple batch.
