Mishap: An Accidental Haunting

Windows - 2009

How to Play

The game has been tested on Windows 7 64-bit, Windows 8 and Windows 10, it works fine. If the game doesn't work - try to launch it in Compatibility mode with old version of Windows (like Windows XP, Vista, etc.) and as Administrator

Notes:

  • Before the launch, make sure that you enabled DirectPlay: Go to Control Panel, and select 'Programs'. Select 'Turn Windows features on and off', click on 'Legacy Components' and check the box 'DirectPlay'. Select OK, once the installation is done, restart your computer
  • It is recommended to install all versions of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable and NET Framework for the correct work of the game
  • The game requires OpenAL for the correct work of audio. If you have it installed but the game still shows the error or doesn't run - download OpenAL32.dll and put in into game folder
  • On some systems switching the game to Windowed mode may result that the game window will disappear completely. If you experienced that issue, you need to delete the settings file - go to C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Virtual Prophecy\Mishap\preferences folder and delete Video.cs.dso file. After that run the game again, it will launch with default graphics settings
  • If you stuck at some hard place in the game, here's the walkthrough guide

I have a question about OpenAL32.dll in regard to Mishap: An Accidental Haunting. When you say to put it in the "Game" folder, do I just open the folder and past it there? Or does it need to be in a specific sub-folder there?
