Can't change settings

[muelicas]

Whenever i try to go to the game settings menu i have a message that says the game must be reinstalled, i've tried twice, but nothing happened.

Oh, great. :/ I hoped they fixed that...
Try to enter game dir ("Local Files" in game settings, in Library) and set compatibility for both exes (BGE.EXE for game, SettingApplication.exe for settings). Set them to WinXP SP3. If it will not work, well, you are out of luck. Aside of direct Registry editing, of course.

Not installed properly - SettingsApplication.exe

Hello,

I have been roaming around the topics on this game, and everytime someone else addressed the issue, someone redirects it to another discussion that doesn't exist anymore. I need to understand how to fix this issue.

When I try to launch the settingsapplication.exe or the checkapplication.exe, it says that the Game isn't properly installed, or whatever. You must know the drill. How do I fix it? And please, if you tell me that it was already solved, give me a link that works. Because none, and I say NONE of the links on this huge ass topic work, as o ftoday.

Thank you for your help, I just want to be able to play this game.
Best regards, Zendrek.

"Beyond Good and Evil not installed" Settings error

Recently installed the game and wanted to change the settings and can't seem to get the game settings tab to work. Is there a work around?

[Smiling Spectre]

A lot. Try for start the compatibility with WinXP. If it will not work - check around, guide linked here a ton of times.
