This one's broken. The installation runs fine, the file check says all is fine and then a series of issues: shortcut points to a nonexistent executable in the game folder, the game launches but the mouse cursor doesn't respond, the game is on autoskip so fast you can't read a word of it then it says it wants to see if there's an update but the mouse still does nothing, so you can't proceed. No key on the keyboard does anything either. Controller doesn't work. Compatibility mode does nothing. All the standard troubleshooting just does nothing. Low resource installation made the left click work, so progress, I suppose, but the mouse still doesn't move and the game is still unplayable... I would've gone to game issues section but this seems like a repack issue or a crack issue...
Don't know what to say... I kinda solved it. So the game won't work, run as the administrator fixed the auto skip... then to fix the game and make it see both the mouse and the controller I run the compatibility troubleshooter, let that do its thing and then when it asks to test it that fixes the problem but the game works properly only when that test button launches it. If the troubleshooter finishes - the mouse is unresponsive, if I manually chose the compatibility mode - the input doesn't register. For as long as I live I have never seen something like that, pirated game or not. Don't know if it's my mouse, my Windows version, some drivers... It's bizarre but if anyone has a similar issue - here's a workaround.
