It's considered working as intended (or not to be fixed) that your system formatting settings for Date and Decimal can cause problems with the game.
I put together a script that changes your system settings, starts the game, then restores your settings back to what they were.
I've tested this with the Date formatting. I haven't tested with the Decimal, but this should work with that as well.
I'm offering this with no guarantees. Use at your own risk. That said, I did my best to make sure this doesn't cause problems.
Instructions:
- Download the attached zip file. Extract the contained PowerShell script file to someplace where it can live. Example: C:\Games\AuroraTools\
- Edit the file. Replace the path set on the first line to the path to where the Aurora. exe file is located. If you want, replace the second line with your desired date format. This page might help: https://docs. microsoft. com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/custom-date-and-time-format-strings
- Create a new shortcut to this script. Then right click on the script and open the properties. Change the target to tell PowerShell to ignore the normal check for permission to run scripts. Example: powershell. exe -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File C:\Games\AuroraTools\StartAurora. ps1
If this doesn't seem to be having an effect, try increasing the value on the fifth line (delayBeforeExitInSeconds). This will force the script to wait a little longer after the application starts before setting the system settings back to their old values.
This script works by changing the system settings in the registry and then starting the game. At some point early on, the application gets its formatting settings from the system. After this, the system settings can be restored and the script can exit. The game will continue using the modified settings it initially got from the system, even though the original settings have been restored.
Please let me know if you run into any problems.
