Issues fixed
Game installer won't run on 64-bit versions of Windows
Use the InstallShield 3 Setup Engine to get the setup running[5]
|
- While the game executable is 32-bit, the
setup.EXE installer is a 16-bit executable so it will not natively work in 64-bit operating systems.
- To remedy this, download InstallShield 3 Setup Engine, place this file in a writeable folder with the rest of the application install files and run
setup32.exe instead of setup.EXE .
|
'Options' button in the launcher crashes
Hide all input devices from the game[5]
|
- Download dinputto8 and devreorder.
- From dinputto8, extract
dinput.dll to <path-to-game> .
- From devreorder, extract
devreorder.ini and x86 \dinput8.dll to <path-to-game> .
- Open
devreorder.ini and set the [visible] section to include an empty UID, like:
[visible]
{}
- Save your changes.
Notes
- Breaks the ability to use controllers in-game. Consider applying these changes only when you need to access Options in the launcher.
