* Without any modifications, the game is isn't easily made portable due to the registry dependencies

−
{{ii}} The fix is very rough, and takes substantial amount of time to get the game to work again after every playing session
 
−
# Get the modification on the [https://skychase.zone/gloveres/pcfix.html modder's website]
 
−
# [Recommended] Extract contents to any short-length (with name shorter than 8) directory without any spaces. For example, {{file|C:\Glover}}. Extracting to the installation directory is OK, as long as it is short and space-less
 
−
# Run Glover and play the game
 
−
# After you played, delete the files of: {{file|glover.log}}, {{file|dgVoodoo.conf}} and {{file|Glover.cfg}}. Then re-extract the original {{file|dgVoodoo.conf}} and {{file|Glover.cfg}} into the main directory

# Repeat the last step after every playing session
