I did everything how it's explained and everything works except the music

[Darth]

My hogs of War doesnt open. What should I do? Please help. Thank you in advance

I had the same issue as THGhost but I managed to get the music to work like this:

Add the music folder in the _inmm.ini tab in _inmmcnf.exe (make sure to set explorer to show all files and add all the .ogg files) and save the file, then look up "directshow ogg filter" and download that.

[THGhost]

Followed this to the letter and it did not work. It says that a file named "_inmm.ini" could not be found, it then creates a "_inmm.log" file and then leaves a window with a big red X and an OK option.

Hi, so I'm trying to drag and drop the warhogs_.exe file into _inmmcnf.exe, but it says it can't write. Is there something I missed?

[RisingUmbra]

Hey, I have now changed the compatibility and disabled the full screen optimization and set run as admin as well as the settings of both .exes. now it doesn't even start anymore.

[HopesPokes]

Can you reupload pls?

[Alucard]

[Alucard]
