Issues fixed[edit]

Game will not launch in Steam[edit]

Download DLL file and/or unplug game controllers^{[citation needed]}

Install the latest DirectX End-User Runtimes.
If problems persist, download dinput8.dll and extract into the episode installation folder. The game should now launch.

Unplugging game controllers may fix the problem as well.

Another possible solution (Windows 7): Make sure that Steam is not running in Vista Compatibility mode. First make sure Steam is not running. Right click Steam icon, select properties and the compatibility Tab. If "run this programme in compatibility mode" box is ticked untick it.
