If I recall correctly, this is indeed the case; GM is using Windows set up to Finnish language, whereas my girlfriend uses English language.

After reading your comment I checked the language and region settings on the laptop: it's set to English language, however a Finnish format is selected, in which the decimal separator is a comma. I tried changing the decimal separator to period and then launching GCA. The good news are that now it does load her character just fine, so your suspicion seems to have been very much spot-on.

Thanks for the help, this should make tomorrow's session quite a bit more convenient for her! :)
