Windows 10 Fix?

[FireWolf 75]

I like many others have messed up graphics at the title screen and a white screen in game with edward being a blue figure in the center. Any idea if this will ever be fixed or if I should request and refund? Thanks to any help I can get!!!!

I've made some notes on the Spanish version that I think might be helpful in translating the exe. Some of it can be guessed, but this is based on trial and error. There's more that I don't have here though.

I'm not a native Spanish speaker, but you're welcome anyway. As I said, it's based on trial-and-error. Now, if this helps with translating it, I'd like to see modding tools for the game. I'd also like to figure out how to play the game with the better models through the Steam client directly and use the midis the game is supposed to have. With a Silent Hill 3 style Steam controller binding, the game has quite a bit of potential.

I've done the patch for demo version. It's funny that demo version works fine on any windows included latest windows 10 build. Demo version executable CAN RUN any level.
What I've done:
=======================================================================
00479AE3 |. C745 EC 21000>|MOV DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-14],1E //SET LEVEL ID for new GAME - 30 means first location after intro cutscene
->
0044DD8D /EB 0F JMP SHORT alone4_d.0044DD9E //SKIP LEVEL CHECKING ROUTINE (NO MORE CD3 NEEDED)
->
0044DDAB /EB 12 JMP SHORT alone4_d.0044DDBF //SKIP DEMO LIMITATION ROUTINE
=======================================================================
I'm using ingame level selector (Run the game with "wizardmaster" command and go to cheat menu inside inventory) and everything works fine but test is necessary.
Link to my patch below:
{LINK REMOVED}>>> DOWNLOAD <<<
AND MY LAST WORDS: NEVER TRY TO LAUNCH THE GAME THROUGH THE LAUNCHER.
Launcher sets settings that will never be affected to the game (Guys who did the port are brokenhanded). Only 2 files with settings (settings.bin/keys.bin) will be loaded or saved if you run the game and/or changed some options. "Aitd4.cfg" is useless too.

UPDATED PATCH:
{LINK REMOVED}Download_patch2
NOTE: with patch above you can complete the game BUT ONLY for Carnby [Demo version restriction].

[unknownproject]

Third version of my patch for demo version. Still needs to be tested.
{LINK REMOVED}>>> Download <<<
What inside:
-Restored character selection menu.
-First location is no more hardcoded and based only on character you choose.
Sceenshots:
{LINK REMOVED}1 {LINK REMOVED}2
{LINK REMOVED}3
Note2: Demo version code is pretty similar to full version.

Well for the moment here's the "fix"

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8jei8izaeh01obp/AAD_UjM5Wf2BR5afE213y9fga?dl=0

For me this was not needed:
-Install both the spanish and the english/french one (might be unneeded if you use the exe you can find in the dropbox folder, havent tested)
-Copy over the movies and Dialog folder from the english/french version over to the spanish install

Must do:
-Download the LOC file of whatever language you prefer and rename it to "locale" (yes, no extensions), and MOVE IT TO THE "PROVIDER" FOLDER, which you can find in the game folder. After that the new .exe should work.

-For steam, replace the alone4.exe, with the one here provided. Its the clean spanish one from GOG.

Thank you so much! The game's now fully operational under Win10 64-bit!

It Worked!!! Thank you so much! :D

Thanks unknownproject. This is the best fix I have found for the Win10 issue so far. Perhaps you should create a new thread to get more visability to this?

For now I'm trying to complete the whole game by myself. A lot of code to check, a lot of objects/dialogs/events to research.

How to run this game on windows 10: watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Tj3yrQwa-A and click on the link "fix download". It's a russian site.
Extract the file GameDir.zip and unzip, this is the only folder that matters. Copy the file alone4.exe and the Provider folder into your game directory. Click "Replace All Files." Now open your game normally and have good fun!

Run the game on windows 10 is not a big deal. Makes the whole game playable is another problem. GOG version/demo version has the same problem with Aline gameplay. And this problem about two doors on the second floor of the manor. This nasty bug makes the game unplayable by direct way. BTW you can skip this by 'wizardmaster' -> '107 2nd F corridor' location. My version of the game is 3CD's retail release if it's important so I can't confirm door bugs with another releases but I'm still trying to figure out how this ♥♥♥♥ really works.

Update.
Clean demo version (without my patches) has this bug too.

This is really nice, i was wondering way not even ATI or NVIDIA card could work with it, not even the dgvoodoo 2 witch i use if everything fails. only problem i have now is that i have to use MSI afterburner to limit the frame rate since it runs at over 800fps when picking up an item. makes me dizzy :P

I beat both stories in the Spanish version on Windows 10. From what I can tell, it's not an issue for it, but there is some text in Aline's story that I didn't translate. It has something to do with using free look with your flashlight to solve a puzzle.

Edit: By the way, could you remind me of the rooms you're talking about by describing them and telling me what's going on?

[Ness_and_Sonic]

I did an attempt to translate the Spanish version's untranslated text to English. It might seem like corners were cut. I was trying to stay within the limits of the Spanish version's text without changing anything else.

Feel free to try it. If there's anything I missed, take a screenshot to show me.
Edit: I messed up a few things with the previous attempt. I'm working on getting a better version of it up.
2nd Edit: here, try applying the Spanish patch, then use this to see if it helps.

I've never played Alone in the Dark before, I bought in the Helloween promotion and so I don't know nothing about the bugs on the doors that you reported. For me, shortly after the initial cutscene the game got an error (the white logo and the menu displayed wrong). This patch worked for me. Believe me, I'm using an Intel graphics 3000. More: To change the resolution, right-click on the game, choose properties, "set startup options". Inside the box, type: -STENCIL x = 1366 y = 768. This is my screen resolution but you choose the resolution as you wish.

Just thought I'd share a screenshot of my attempt to translate the Spanish version's untranslated text:

I haven't tried your patch, but I think I have an idea of what room you're talking about. Are these blue portals turning you around when you try to enter those doors? There's a plot related event in that area you need to do first. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but there's another door way in that area. It's disguised, but the map should reveal it. Just walk into it.
