***DEATHRIPS***

To enable Deathrips please download the restoration patch here for 32-bit and 64 bit systems Windows 10 and above.

They were included in the archive but most likely due to security, they were removed.





***UPDATE!!*** FOR THOSE HAVING TROUBLE RUNNING PLEASE READ BELOW***

Make sure neither the d20 folder, the "4j813d4l2o4p6o1l" file or the "678nth.ani" are in your files if they are please delete them.

Add the Deathcargo.exe as a non Steam game in Steam.

Run the game once in Steam and leave it open (It will open in fullscreen, so you can use the windows key to access other things while it is running.

Navigate to the folder "d59308/d18/d19/d20" the folder d20 should have been auto created and a file with random characters should be inside.

Rename the file to "4j813d4l2o4p6o1l" (DO NOT CLOSE THE GAME YET)

Navigate to the folder "d59308/d18/d19/" and Create a new text document called "678nth.ani" (MAKE SURE THE EXTENSION OF THE FILE is .ani NOT .txt)

Click back on the active game window and now press "ESC" to close the game.

Run the game in Steam once more and it should start up activated and working.

You'll notice that no code had to be entered, the code is no longer needed after further testing was done on different machines.

It caches everytime the steps are done so if you fail to get it run or have already added it to steam prior and it didn't run, navigate to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\shadercache" and delete the most recent modifed folder in there which should be a random set of numbers that has cached the game, then restart the steps above.


**ADDITIONAL NOTES**

- Game Activation Disclaimer -

Once the game is activated on your computer you may think it would be easy to just copy the activated game for use on another device, however this breaks the activation.

If you want to get the game working on a different PC you will need to make sure you unzip this collection from the start and repeat the process from the beginning on the new PC.

- Steam Deck Disclaimer -

Unfortunately after extensive testing we have discovered this game does not run well on Steam Deck.

- Controller Support -

DEATH CARGO only supports Xbox 360 input. Controller emulation software such as X360CE is a great tool if youre using a modern controller.
The software can be downloaded at https://www.x360ce.com. Just download, add, and map your controller.

As long as the software is running in the backround the game should recognize the Xbox 360 controller input.

We also did find that the controller support on Steam (PC) was hit or miss on specific PC's for reasons we cannot explain.
