Custom Installer^{[citation needed]}
These instructions are for 64-bit Windows only. The game may be installed using a fan produced installer, which can be downloaded here (used to be hosted on play-old-pc-games.com). To get the game running, do the following: Place the cd in the optical driver, but do not launch the installer, instead launch the custom installer Follow all prompts for the installer Be sure to install the game to a custom folder, such as 'C:Games' in order to prevent a bug involving saved games. The installer should do this be default NOTE: There is no need to patch the game after this, as the custom installer handles that as well Launch the game, if you get nothing but a spinning cursor, read on These instructions are for if the game does not launch correctly after installation: Try to set your resolution to something higher than the default by editing the obi.ini file as specified in the widescreen section NOTE: If for some reason you can not see an obi.ini file after launching the game once, you can download one here. Place it in the top level of the installation folder If you still see nothing, download this zip file (also from play-old-pc-games.com) and unzip its contents into the top level of wherever you installed the game. It is wise to make a backup of the files it is going to replace before doing this. Launch the game. It will probably take a solid amount of time before anything happens. This is normal, just wait, as long as the cursor wheel is still spinning the game should load.
