So I’ve cobbled together this ‘ultimate guide’ which should hopefully help to setup a more stable and enjoyable experience from the beginning. I have 17 years of experience with getting this damn game to work and I thought that some of that knowledge could be helpful for newbies. Finding and utilising these resources can be a nightmare for any new player. There are tonnes of resources out there to make the game run and look better but they are scattered across every corner of the internet. It is, however, objectively ancient and thus a pain in the arse to set up and install in 2021 (or whenever you’re reading this).
Personally it has been a huge part of my life. It continues to entertain and delight people all over the globe over 17 years after the initial release.
