@For newbie: Don't forget crack before launching the game (otherwise you will get the "no license" error). By doing one of the following:

  • Method 1: before installing the game, check the following box:

  • Method 2: or after installing the game, open the iso file, copy everything in the "RUNE" folder, then paste them to where you installed the game, enjoy ;) (see tutorial image here if you still dont know: https://igg-games.com/how-885614657-to-install-game-and-update.html)

Some people can't launch the game, then create a shortcut of the exe file, then add the parameter " -dx11 " to it. Specifically, follow these steps:

  1. Right click "....\Cronos\Binaries\Win64\Cronos-Win64-Shipping.exe" -> Create Shortcut.

  2. Right click on the shortcut you just created -> Properties -> Shortcut tab -> In Target field, add " -dx11 " to the end of the string (NOTE: there is a space before). It looks like the following image:

Launch the game from that shortcut, enjoy 😉

early general review.

Love the atmosphere and graphics style.

However, still has some small performance issues.

I need to play on Medium graphics setting with DLSS performance to get smooth frames.

But still looks good nonetheless.

Just looking at the start screen. But what's with preorder editions giving you extra ammo and other gameplay nonsense?

Is this supposed to entice people into buying preorders?

A very short preview: It's good enough. It scratches the Dead Space itch that was scarred by Callisto Protocol.

This game is such incredible crap, I recommend not downloading it, not playing it at all. Such a waste of time!!!!!

It's okay. Like, the melee is entirely pointless, where even the talent or whatever isn't worth getting.

The charged pistol IS THE BEST because of limited ammo, so you're kind of stuck using that for the entire game unless you want to gimp yourself.

It's not terrible, but definitely not a game to remember.

Well I recommend that everyone should download and play it. I had such a great fun to play this game

For a game being praised THIS much, it certainly feels underwhelming. Especially so when they just copy-pasted all the bosses except The Pathfinder.

For some reason I can't get this game to run anymore. It ran fine when I first installed it, yet now I can't get the game to start, and that's after uninstalling and reinstalling twice. Yes, I made sure to add the crack, yes I made sure to block it from the net, I've run as admin...just the damndest thing.

At first I didn't want to use them, so I printscreened what I got.

Then I realized that I can delete items from my inventory, so I just put the preorder stuff in my inv and deleted it all.

As stingy as the game is with ammo and they way the Orphans can be super bullet sponges, you might be grateful for them.

I had 4 stacks of each ammo type and healing items in my chest, while also constaly selling ammo and healing. That preorder stuff was pretty meaningless to be honest. The basic difficulty has shit ton of items.

The game saved for me after the train. Did you run as admin?
Also no autosave? Sometimes the game saves automatically. I counted 9-10 save slots. When I overwrite the oldest, it comes up on top as the newest

Run the game's exe as administrator every time you start the game.
