Essential improvements
ScummVM
As of 16 June 2019, the ScummVM engine supports Blade Runner. For more information, see the ScummVM wiki page.
- This method does not require an external installer nor installation of any additional patches.
Alternate installer
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.

Issues fixed
Game wont start
Game will crash on start if computer does not have an optical drive mounted.
- In Windows 10, opening the ISO will create a drive automatically.
Mount a virtual optical drive |

|
Shooting range and rat/tunnel issues
On modern CPUs, shooting range targets never appear or take minutes to. A similar issue occurs with the "rat in the tunnel" portion of the game.
Apply the CPU patch[2] |
---|
Mouse isn't smooth
- This pertains to using the CPU patch.
Edit config[citation needed] |

|
Save games not working
Create a SAVE folder under <path-to-game>[citation needed]
|

Objects missing in Acts 2 through 4
The installer (even the alternate installer) doesn't copy certain files from Discs 2 through 4, so they're missing when the game looks for them.
Add HDFRAMES.DAT[citation needed] |
