Difference between revisions of "Omikron: The Nomad Soul"

From PCGamingWiki, the wiki about fixing PC games
(Retail also existed. Windowed solution: correct mouse position fix alt-tabbing. Flip emulation fix awful lag. I can *see* all the languages hardcoded in the GOG executable... oddly it only has English.. Every pre-existing issue is basically CN.)

Notes

  1. File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/243000/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (243000) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
