Everybody knows that the Ancients were able to do incredible, magnificent things. Unlike us, their puny descendants, they were even able to travel freely between the worlds! Sadly, their advanced knowledge and technology have been lost and we are only left with some artifacts that we have no idea how to use.

A recent discovery by Prof. Braumber, who found a way to activate several ancient portals, was met with a surge of enthusiasm. The enthusiasm, however, has quickly waned as it became clear that the world accessible through the portals, which was named Arvie Flar by its re-discoverer, is an undeveloped, wild, and dangerous place. To make things worse, savage soldiers of an unknown army appear to live in this world, fiercely attacking explorers and settlers.

These unfortunate circumstances have greatly affected the interest in Arvie Flar among world governments and major corporations. And this is exactly where a middle-tier corporation Limbader & Co saw an opportunity. It managed to acquire the concession rights for Arvie Flar and believes that it can extract profit from this world. Mr. Limbader's plan is quite simple: acting quickly, the corporate workers get as many resources as possible while the corporate armed forces protect them from the mysterious army. Nice and easy, what could possibly go wrong?

You have a good chance to get the leading position on this planned expedition. It would be a tremendous move for your career, and of course it would allow you to demonstrate your extraordinary leadership as well as analytical and problem-solving skills. As the negotiations with Limbader & Co are almost over, you arrive to the city of Nörsten for a final interview with your potential employer. Good luck!

50% of the time you get stuck map screen after Start New Game, other 50% you get a game crash on Start New Game

Thank you for writing me about this! Can you help me find what's failing? 

If you open your Windows Explorer and navigate to %appdata%/ArvieFlar there should be logs. If you could send me the log file, I will be able to investigate the issue.

I don't have a sound output connected to my PC - [ERR] Executing action #82 for geoscape initialization Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio.NoAudioHardwareException (0x80004005): Audio has failed to initialize. Call SoundEffect.Initialize() before sound operation to get more specific errors. 2nd error is the same, from a different place: 

Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio.NoAudioHardwareException (0x80004005): OpenAL device could not be initialized, see console output for details. at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio.OpenALSoundController..ctor()

Ouch! Thanks a lot, this is something for me to fix asap.

A new build is ready, version 0.1.10. The fix is not ideal and I wasn't yet able to fix it on a machine that would really have no sound output, but it should work for now and I'll publish a better fix later.

Version 0.1.11 is ready - I believe it contains a proper way to handle your kind of PC. Can you check if it works for you, @raamon?
