Issues fixed

Game will not launch in Steam

Download DLL file and/or unplug game controllers[citation needed]
  1. Install the latest DirectX End-User Runtimes.
  2. If problems persist, download dinput8.dll and extract into the episode installation folder. The game should now launch.

Unplugging game controllers may fix the problem as well.

Another possible solution (Windows 7): Make sure that Steam is not running in Vista Compatibility mode. First make sure Steam is not running. Right click Steam icon, select properties and the compatibility Tab. If "run this programme in compatibility mode" box is ticked untick it.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 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>/901399/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (901399) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
