reinstall DirectX9 ( ) and Visual C++ 2013 SP1 Redistributable ( ) turn off Raptr or similar applications (anticheat, AMD gaming evolved,, special mouse and keyboard utilities etc, basically anything unimportant that is running in the background and might be interfering) set the exe to winXP or win7 compatiblity set SoftRenderer=On in sshock.ini (edit with notepad) set FullScreen=No in sshock.ini (edit with notepad) set WindowWidth=640 and WindowHeight=480 in sshock.ini (edit with notepad) set VideoMode=3 in sshock.ini (edit with notepad) IMPORTANT: the official "I'm crashing, help" topic is here (read the post and provide the required info/files). SS1EE SHLink (the old windows wrapper version): go options and enable on-line help to get HUD hints again. the HUD assistant will get disabled once you leave the starting area. don't worry, quest items are indestructible. you can destroy stuff with explosives and beam weapons. locations on the map can be marked and notes added. fullscreen map can be enabled by clicking on the automap tab (lower right or left side of the screen), then clicking FULL. you can take out an item from a container or a corpse by simply doubleclicking on it.

the Enhanced text mod is highly recommended, this matches the mail/log text to the voiceovers. all custom SS1 content can be found here. to install mods, you need to place their folders under %APPDATA%\Nightdive Studios\System Shock EE\mods (each mod has to have its own folder with the data and script files inside the \mods folder), and activate them in the Modifications menu. if you don't like the Mac portraits, enable the DOS faces mod in the Modifications menu. a clean install of the latest build is generally a good idea. if you want to use old saves, they need to be moved to %APPDATA%\Nightdive Studios\System Shock EE\missions\archive (this is not recommended though). the game may not start at all if the path to the exe, or to the mods and cfgs contains special characters, see a fix here. * Net Framework 4.7 (may need KB2813430 to permit install) * Windows SDK and KB4019990, if you have Windows8.

* Win7 platform update, if you have Windows7. if the game refuses to start (a message about missing dlls or DX11), check whether you have the following updates installed: integrated mod/fan mission loader, and more

SSEESP (System Shock Enhanced Edition Source Port) is a source port of the original game, it's based on the Mac source code that has been acquired and updated by NDS, and is intended to replace the original EE that used a custom wrapper to get the game running on modern computers.
