SOFTWARE ESSENTIALS

Make sure u have the following softwares, that will make your job to run the game easier …

- You MUST install Jdownloader (its free!). Download it from here:

Jdownloader:

- Update your graphic & audio drivers.

For Nvidia:

http://www.nvidia.com/

For ATI:

http://support.amd.com/

-For audio search yourself according to your model etc

Install the latest DirectX:

Note this will cover errors like – d3dx9_xx.dll

- If u are running WinXP or below, make sure u have (Not required for vista/7) :

Visual C++ Redistributable:

.NET Framework 3.5:

.NET Framework 4:

- Extraction Software:

I would highly recommend 7zip for all extraction purposes. Winrar doesn’t work with all extensions and Hj-Split gives no extension sometimes.

Winrar:

- Mounting Software:

Daemon Tools:

- Games For Windows Live Redistributable

http://download.microsoft.com/download/D/0/F/D0F9F1BD-9BE6-49E4-8729-4AAAFCAC20F9/gfwlivesetup.exe

These are 6 essentials you MUST have in order to run the game properly.

    I can’t believe you guys forgot to list DAMN NFO Viewer among the software essentials. You’d think it would be an essential with all the nfos Skidrow and the other groups put out.
