How to run the game on Win 10
This topic is to show the problems I have encountered while playing it on Win10 and how to fix them with the help of the topics in this forum.

P.S. My solution may not be the best, so feel free to let me know any better solutions

Here is my spec in short:
Win 10 (17134) [Family]
CPU: i5 6300HQ
GPU: GTX 950M
Laptop
Sys language: Chinese


1. Text in game cannot displayed
- It is due to my sys language which is Chinese.

Solution:
- find the default_pc.cfg in folder : .....SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Marc Ecko's Getting Up 2\engine
- open it with notepad
- find the line read "language = os"
- change "os" to ''en''
- save the file

2. In game character not displayed
- like this :

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1BGn2YGX9EcbG2evmRvaZbbpLbDJ6xZmk

- I found that it is due to the d3d8.dll file under the _Bin folder where you installed you game

Solution:
- Download the DX8 to DX9 Convertor here :http://enbdev.com/convertor_dx8_dx9_v0035.htm
- Unpack the d3d8.dll file to your game's Bin folder
- Delete the widescreen fix .asi file (otherwise it won't work).
- (Notice that it is a trade off, it limits you to 1024 x 768 and no widescreen fix, so I have to adjust my desktop resolution to 1024 x 768 to get the full screen experience.)

3. Game automatically quit when start a level
- It is due to the usage of integrated graphic card. (At least is for my case)

Solution
- Right click on GettingUp.exe in the _Bin folder
- Choose to run using your independent graphic card instead of using integrated graphic card which is default option

4. Crush
- Multiple reasons, for me it is compatibility problem

Solution
- Right click on GettingUp.exe in the _Bin folder
- Compatibility changed to Windows Vista or XP
- Run GettingUp.exe

5. One key knocking out enemies
- You will learn to knock out your enemies from behind by holding L & R Mouse buttons at the same time while in stealth (holding L Shift). The problem for me is that I always fail to do so because I am not pressing L & R Mouse button at the same time. So I research on whether I can bind the L & R Mouse button in one key in keyboard. Here is what I found out

Solution
- Find binds_pc.cfg in folder : .....SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Marc Ecko's Getting Up 2\engine
- Open it with Notepad
- Find the line :

"addbind 0 COMMAND_RIGHT_THUMBSTICK_BUTTON KEYBOARD 0 KEY_F -1.0 1.0 1.0"

- under this line, add two lines

"addbind 0 COMMAND_PUNCH KEYBOARD 0 KEY_R -1.0 1.0 1.0 #-- PUNCH
addbind 0 COMMAND_KICK KEYBOARD 0 KEY_R -1.0 1.0 1.0 #-- KICK"

- As you can see, these two lines add the punch and kick function with one key (R) on the keyboard. U can change the key R with other keys just make sure you use a upper letter if necessary
- Save the file
