Error: MegaFileManagerClass::Add_Megafile() - can't add Data\CutScences.meg [0

yes I tried that already.

Yes there is no files called that anywhere lmao. What a mess this remaster is tho

@hellbringer2I This might be a rather silly solution, but you could try just copying one of the smaller .meg files, like maps.meg, to that filename?

(Fairly sure that maps.meg is just an expected part of the GlyphX game engine, but pretty much empty in the remaster because it reads all maps from the classic files)

Are you sure that is what actually causes the game crash though? Because clearly it's going on and attempts to load more stuff after that, since it gives the error on multiple .meg files. Does the error say anything more than that?

whats the master file text?

@hellbringer2I Does it matter? It says it's falling back on the US one, so it's not any kind of crash.

You're just reading too much into generic failures that are completely handled by the game engine. Those are not an issue. They do not cause your game to crash. You can clearly see that from the fact it's still going on and loading more after that.

If this is indeed a crash log, and your game isn't launching, you need to look at the end of the whole file to see what actually causes it to abort the game launch process.

Side note: interesting to see "Goo_Init_Data_Scheme_Required_Systems" in there. The game engine seems to have some Grey Goo leftovers.

here is full log

@hellbringer2I The log shows that it detects your graphics as "Intel(R) UHD Graphics". Then, it has a load of "out of memory" errors.

Embedded Intel Graphics cards don't have dedicated video memory. Your issue is simply that your computer doesn't meet the game's video requirements.

This might have been a "16 mb of RAM" game in 1995, but the high resolution remastered graphics are exponentially larger than the originals from back then, and the game uses the graphics card to cache those as textures for quick access. So, as the system requirements of the game say, you definitely need a dedicated graphics card to run this.
