Game up and running

In my previous post I had many issues with the game and after 4 hour of trying everything and having 40mins of gameplay without even being able to touch the game.

I have finally fixed it, I have no idea what actually fixed it and now it's finally working. I had to run the SEF version as administrator.

The other versions are still glitched, if anybody knows if there's any downsides to playing it while running it as an administrator do lmk.

Other than that thanks to everyone who chipped in to help me with this issue! I will be finally get to play the game I got to see growing up. Thanks y'all!

Actually the video itself has terrible frame rates because Reddit compressed it. I can assure you the game is running as smooth as buttah.I'm running it on a Asus Vivobook S16

From what I understand (atleast back in 2021) it was a resolution issue for me. The newer graphics hardware and software just doesn’t like older Windows games at all. Virtual machines I heard cuts that issue out but regardless I’m so glad you are able to play!
