I have no problems launching, just bought. I modded it also with sdk restoration and map expander. no issues. First time i played without mods it ran no issue. Delete your game folder recycle and re-download.
I had to use the 4gb patcher and the following launch parameters to get the game to launch the first time.
After that i deleted the launch parameters and Messiah still works:
-width 1920 -height 1080 -dxlevel 90 -heapsize 2097152 -novid +datacachesize "128"

i didn't use any patches or anything, worked after I put this into my launch options
-novid +map_background none +datacachesize "128" +map_background none
I'm on Linux and the game works fine, 10 hours into the story and not one issue.

Imagine not understanding that old games have problem with running on modern systems without tweaking.

This. Saying 2006 game is bad because you have issues running it in 2025 is stupid.
Your brain is a pig slop.

Hog slop is supposed to be calorie dense
No tweaking needed, the game run on my desktop and Steam Deck.

:steamfacepalm: No tweaking needed because it runs fine for you is only something you can say if you have no clue about PC hardware. There are literally thousands of configurations. Not to mention software conflicts.

I played the game many times, but atm it's refusing to launch for some reason. Which is irritating, they don't make games like this any more. Awoved came out recently and it's a downright flacid game compared to this.

EDIT: Put -ignoredxsupportcfg -novid +datacachesize "128" -heapsize 2097152 -autoconfig into launch command and it got into menu.

EDIT 2: I even had to apply the 4gb patch so the game doesn't crash if I put the settings too high. And who wants to play on medium, without the HD textures mod.

Objectively speaking, the exe definitely needs to be modified to work on 64-bit systems
Only thing game needs is 4gb patch to prevent crashes, it works perfectly otherwise.
So no pig slop none of that bs
