Windchaser

Windows - 2008

How to Play

The game has been tested on Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 10, it works fine. You may experience some small troubles when you play the game on modern systems, check our Notes for details

Notes:

  • If the installation doesn't start - try to launch Setup.exe in compatibility mode with old version of Windows (98, 2000 or XP)
  • It is recommended to install all versions of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable and NET Framework for the correct work of the game. Also it is recommended to install K-Lite Codec Pack for the correct work of in-game videos
  • The game works on DirectX 9, so if you're using Windows 8, 8.1, 10 or 11 - you need to enable 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
  • German version of the game is protected with ProtectDisc DRM, Polish and Russian versions with StarForce DRM. Be careful, StarForce DRM drivers can ruin your system, especially if you're using 32-bit variant of Windows OS! Make sure to use NoDVD before the first launch, simply replace the executable file in game folder
  • The game has many small bugs and can crash at random moments. It seems it crashes a lot in the desert level, we recommend to make the savegames oftenly
  • If you have problem with broken sound effects or disappearing sound - first try to change the sound settings. If it didn't work - set sound quality to 24 bit, 48000 Hz or 24 bit, 44100 Hz. Read this guide how to do that
  • It seems that the game should have an English localization, the page of the game on developer's website features the trailer and screenshots on English. But according to this thread, the final decision was by publisher, and probably they cancelled English release after the poor sales of the game. If, by chance, you have the English version (or any other language version) - please contact us
