Dgvoodoo, dxwnd and D3DWindower, are all programs that can make it run with some tweaks. I personally use D3DWindower for speedruns, but it's mostly preference. With D3DWindower, just enable cursor clip and direct input, and it should work. Remember to cap the FPS to 60 or the physics won't work properly and the game becomes pretty much unplayable. Pcgamingwiki has some info as well

@@Kainalo Thanks for the reply but unfortunately I'm not knowledgeable enough to set up any of the programs you mentioned. Can you please share any settings you used to at least get the game to launch? Because there's no info on PCwiki or anywhere else on the internet, it could be really useful not only for me but for anyone interested in this game from now on. The game used to work fine 1 or 2 years ago but I guess at one point a windows update broke it completely. Right now it's unplayable and will remain like this for most people unless someone finds a fix.

@ D3DWindower with those 2 settings I said, are the only things I use to run the game. Can't really explain it further

@@Kainalo I've done some research in the meantime and it seems only my 22H2 version of Windows 10 is affected, on 22H1 and Windows 11 the game works great. So I guess I'm just out of luck no matter what I do until a future update, thanks for trying to help and sorry for the trouble.

@ No problem. Hopefully you get it working soon
