Maybe an easy overseen solution to playing CTP 1 & 2 in windows 8.1 ?
You CAN play BOTH on Windows 8.1 (haven't tried 8.0/ Win 7 though) !
Remember to install ALL THE STUFF with administrators rights !!!
* And let it be accepted by AntiVirus programs & Firewalls etc.*
(For Comodo users : YES to Don't isolate it again)
1. First install CTP 1 (it won't work yet)
2. Get the official patch (CtP v1.2 Patch)
3. Update CTP1 with CtP v1.2 Patch and reboot .
4. No, it won't work yet ....
5. THEN get the V1.21 Hack and update CTP 1 with this hack !
Win 8.1 will try to stop this and ask You to cancel ... But don't accept that !
6. Now the game will start, BUT when You enter CTP1 Library -
the game-window will minimize to Your desktop ....
This is caused by 1 or 2 pop-ups saying ex.g. "Video error" "Unable to open the file
(and other stuff ...)"
Perhaps there are other instances where this minimize-pop-up-behaviour will occur in the gameplay !
7. Close the pop-up-boxes, maximize CTP1 again and You can continue
and even search in the "unable-to-open" library
8. The above library-bug-behaviour doesn't influence the game otherwise .
9. However the music only plays one melody and stops . This is more annoying;
to miss CTP 1's many-styled-music, doh ! But You could extract the music
and let the numbers play repeatedly from the harddisk . Still looking for a solution
to hear the numbers from the CD-drive itself ...
