20:09:56.8  6/22/2017:      4. Ensure any required video codecs are installed.
20:09:56.8  6/22/2017:      5. Try a different theme, or try running the theme at the resolution it was designed for

@symenstra Here is the most recent thread on the forums that relates to what tthurman is talking about: LINK

Try installing the Handel Gothic BT font manually (download it from a font site). It seams that one of the Windows 10 updates uninstalls it (or something) and GameEx needs it to run.
