True. the crack cause this, the prophets is actually working. I think you just have to download crack separately, though I have not tried it with this gamefile.
If it's what I experienced then it's an issue with Windows 8&10. Given how old the game is now I doubt anyone is gonna fix it so unless your using windows 7 skip this one completely.
Days ago i Downloaded this game and got it to run almost perfectly. ALMOST. The game is unable to load any saves made and try as i might i got 0 help from the people on this site. This issue has been with this game for a few years from what I've found so it will most likely remain unplayable.Do not waste time downloading this till someone fixes it.
