  • Mount the disc image. It's a .CUE-file (disk image), you will need the utility for mounting disc image files, Windows 8 and 10 has built-in utility (if it doesn't work use disc mounting apps like WinCDEmu, UltraISO, Alcohol 52%/Alcohol 102% or Daemon Tools Lite)
  • Install the game
  • Install the patch
  • Open the directory with the game and find euts.exe. Right click on euts.exe - Properties - Compatibility - Set "Run this app in compatibility mode with Windows XP"
  • Launch the game and play. If the game doesn't run - open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del by default) and check for processes motoe.exe and rundll32.exe. Close motoe.exe but don't touch rundll32.exe (it's a Windows app for running old apps from 32-bit operational systems, most old games running through rundll32.exe). Now try to launch the game again, it must work. Don't forget to close rundll32.exe process in Task Manager after finishing playing.

It works quite well on Windows 11 Pro. Sometimes the game quits suddenly.
Better to save game often, above all to the final scenes.

I've gotten a pretty good ways into the game, but now it is glitching when trying to load up the next cut scene... unsure of what to do... any ideas or do I have to start over?

There is a way to play with Anti Aliasing without glitches - turn on FXAA in game profile in Nvidia control panel and turn off all other types of AA
