Many people have trouble starting the game, running the game smoothly, encounter crashes etc

__For the d3dx9_37 error, you’ll need to redownload and reinstall Microsoft DirectX9.0c (google it, download from microsoft.com, install)__

Also, to get the game contents out of the zip file, right-click open, then drag all of the contents onto the desktop ( or wherever you want)

Make sure the fmodel.dll file is in the same folder as the .exe (Application) file, or the game refuses to start.

The desktop itself does count as a folder, so throwing all the contents onto your desktop shouldn’t be any problem.

Lastly, need I say this, double click the .exe file to start the game.
