  2. When starting the game it says,
    “you must run the game from its install directory”.

    Where is that because it wont start now.
    Not even from the program files or desktop.

    • Did you get a .bin (VLC) rather than .exe? Because that is all I got. When opening, it says “Your input can’t be opened”.

      • Have you looked in the Wiki? There’s some information on how to install games on windows and I suspect the step you’ve missed is to mount the .bin to access the installation program.
