This is a godawful game. If you like this, I love you. I'm convinced there's a Bethesda bug that accidentally launches the .exe file of this game instead of Starfield, hence all of the boiling hate. Either that, or when you double click on "Dragon Age: The Veilguard," this abomination pops up. This is by far the worst game I've ever played, but it moved me tremendously and actually made me cry. Zach, we should probably tell them to literally restart their computer to successfully beat the hospital level in Chapter 3, eh? ---- Notes to my past-self: * You will momentarily quit playing the game because of computer crashes. Eventually, you'll figure out that you need to save A LOT. Every chance you can. If a cutscene freezes, just restart your computer and you'll be able to continue. There are a lot of save points, so you won't ever lose much progress. * The beginning will be really off-putting. Some kinda funny, juvenile things. But you will really start to like the game once it opens up. You get a cop car and get to drive around Greenvale, and you'll really love doing that. --- I feel bad for anyone who wants to play this but can't due to hardware/software issues. Luckily, my computer was able to run it, albeit with several hard crashes/freezes. The game can be very gruesome and perverted and clunky, and so there's no way I would ever recommend it. But I'm compelled to someday make my own "Let's Play" series on this so more people can experience this game. I would honestly use this as an example of "video games as art". Only 6.1% of all players on Steam have reached the ending, and I'm SHOCKED the number is that high. But I'm really glad I contributed to that statistic.

This is the greatest game of all time. Bad controls? Nope, that's intentional. Cliche dialogue? Wrong again, all part of the genius that is the story. Doesn't work on PC without mods? Well yeah but again, all part of the mystique. So bad it's good? HA, try so good it can never be reproduced. There's no world where a Twin Peaks video game could ever be good, so thank god we have this masterpiece. I saw this entire review in my cup of coffee

Your game is crashing in the hospital because it's looking for a file in your game's /updata/movie folder that isn't there. It doesn't actually use the video files in there as far as I can tell, except to check to see if they're there. If one is missing, the game crashes. The subfolder /updata/movie/prm can be used as a sort of manifest to see which files are missing. Because the game doesn't actually play those video files, you can resolve the issue by creating a blank text file and saving it with the appropriate name (the first missing file is ScnD03.wmv, names are not case sensitive) and making sure to add the .wmv file extension. If you want, you can even replace the existing .wmv files in the /updata/movie folder (DO NOT REPLACE THE FILES IN /updata/movie/prm) with blank text files saved with the .wmv file extension and cut the game's filesize by over a third. You're welcome. P.S. If you find the game crashing for you at the same spot repeatedly, try taking a different route. I find that trying to take Adam's St toward the hospital in Chapter 6 does this.

Good luck playing this version of the game. If you can get this version working or you want that legal gray spot of "well I payed for the game so I can pirate it". You are in for a bat shit insane Alice steps thru the looking glass mystery horror. Tho dated for even when it was released, it has that spark that makes it worth it. HOWEVER don't expect this game to work on Steam. The pirates at least have the courtesy of making sure the game runs. Unlike Steam. Ya, anyone that quotes Gabe about piracy being a service problem, you are a fool. Steam was never about service or beating the pirates. It was about convenience to the already paying players. This game proving that.

As the age old addage goes; keep your expectations low, and even then you may be dissapointed. But you won't be too dissapointed if you keep trying to make this work. Set DP.exe to run as administrator and run in compatibility for Windows 8. Set DPLaucher.exe to also run as administrator. Out of all the fixes, for some reason this works... I'm on Windows 11 if that helps anyone else, seems like it's just trial and error for most people. Before I couldn't even launch the game, now Zach and I are catching up having a good old time just like my coffee said we would Update 1 Hit my first frozen blackscreen. As others in the community suggested, I changed DP.exe to run in compatibility for Windows XP Service Pack 3. I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange. Update 2 Needed to change the compatibility back and forth from Windows XP to 8 to get through the Community Centre Gathering chapter from the game freezing at certain points. It's schizophrenia, isn't it Zach? Update 3 The game crashes in Episode 2 right before you go to meet Olivia behind the diner and will work in XP Service Pack 3, but now this feels like it's running at 10fps. Playing in windowed mode helps a tiny bit before I could turn back to Windows 8 compatibility. So what makes me keep playing this game? It feels special enough to want to try to finish it. It's a game with the setting and vibes of Twin Peaks, some influence in encounters and experiences from Silent Hill, the voice acting is masterful in bringing the characters to life. And ofcourse it's absolutely goofy in parts. I'm enjoying the story, small town murder turns into finding whats festering underneath the community. I'd ONLY recommend this on sale from how horrific the port for this game is, like others have said, I kind of wish I had brought this on Switch. Oh well, it gives me more time to think about which movie I'll watch after this.
