I'm confused by the current launcher. When I see a button called "Continue last save game", I can think two things. "The game will continue" or "When I click on the button the game will continue." From experience, the **latter seems correct... This is besides the point, focus on the confusion one experiences the first time they see this.

This is a simple fix and by no means the only wording that *could be unambiguous. I believe that radio options would be better than a single button.

* There is likely somer localization going on here, in that different parts of the world may read any wording differently. I'm north-central USA, AKA Minnesota.

** This is the opposite of what I'd expect, BTW. Thus, adding the word will and reversing the meaning removes ambiguity for my local. When I read "Will continue", I'm most likely to think that if I do nothing the game will continue.
I do see the issue that there is no explanation on what todo if that's not what I want to happen. This is the smaller of the two bugs, IMHO.

It's not the wording that's the issue, it's the lack of clarity of the control.

The control is both a Button, where pressing invokes the text and a Caption, where doing nothing invokes the text. Thus the wording could be changed to make clear that the control is like an "Ok" button or a like a Lable indicating the current state. Or more complicated changes to the interface.
