Issues fixed
Game crashes after copyright screen on modern versions of Windows
Install SilentPatch.[4] |
---|
Rename "Movies" to "_Movies".[9] |
---|
After renaming movies folder cant give character a name after creation
- A problem caused after applying SilentPatch into the european version of the game
Create a savefile in the original european godfather.exe without any mods, then find an US exe that will enable SilentPatch to work. Rename the former "Movies" folder back to what it was before renaming. Then move your savefile from %USERPROFILE%\Documents\corleone to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\GF\SG\. |
