Use Blade Runner Installer 2012 to install the game from CD/DVD on 64-bit Windows. Also download HDFRAMES.DAT
from there and copy it to the installation folder.
- This automatically installs both the official patch and the CPU patch.
Official patch
Download the patch for the CD-ROM version or the DVD-ROM version.
CPU patch
Download the CPU patch to fix timing issues with the shooting range and "rat in the tunnel" portions of the game.
- After extracting it to the installation folder, see Mouse isn't smooth below to edit its config file for smoother mouse movement.
