Some simple fixes to allow for playing CD copies of PopCap games. The premise of these fixes is for when attempts at running the games in compatibility mode, and using additional DLL files such as WineD3D have failed and the last resort is to go digging into config files and the registry
- I am not the first and won't be the last person to try and fix these long since forgotten games, but I have limited machines available to test these fixes on. These fixes might work, or they might not, and I haven't tested them on a DRM (Steam etc.) version at all, so please MAKE A BACKUP of anything you modify using these instructions!
- These guide and files assume some level of knowledge about the following. As a result, there is not a "beginner-friendly" level of detail added to these instructions. As with any code and config files, verify what you're doing BEFORE doing it:
- config file editing using notepad
- registry modifications
All fixes last tested: 23/01/2024, using a Machine with the following specs:
- Class: Desktop
- CPU: Intel Core i7 10700
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3060
- OS: Windows 10 22H2 (Build 19045.3930)
