I joined here because my Steam version of game doesn't start... I did every trick I have found in the internet - adding the beta version in settings, changing compatibility to Windows XP SP 2. I have downloaded the hardware patch (and successfully installed I think) and camera bug patch and still nothing. I click either on the logo from dekstop or "play" in Steam - it is "thinking" for 2-3 seconds and do nothing.

Is it possible to do something more? My system is W11 x64
Could you please post the entire activity log of the Hardware patch here (direct as code form or attached as a txt)? I need to see the log to help you here. Also it would also help if you could provide a full "System-Report" with your hadrware data and DxDiag in case we have a core incompatibility here. You can use the System-Meeter-Bar ( http://smb.it-huskys.com/index.html ) for that, if you do not know all your data yourself.
