Re: Can't install "Alice Madness Returns"

I was having this issue installing ALICE MADNESS RETURNS on windows 11 pro, 
every time it would try to install, it would get stuck around 33% or 34%
and stay stuck finalizing or wrapping things up on EA Play or Xbox Gamepass.
If you experienced this issue with windows 10 and windows 11.
Try this....

DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL ALL MICROSOFT DIRECT X DRIVERS, RUNTIMES AND FRAMEWORKS BELOW

Microsoft Direct X Runtime Web installer. - Install - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35


Microsoft DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010) - Extract to a folder & then run the direct x setup to Installed them.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 - Install - https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net35-sp1


Microsoft Redistributable for Visual C++
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170  - Install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015, 2017, 2019, 2022 and 2008

NOTE:
Microsoft Redistributable for Visual C++  some were already installed on my pc but checked anyway.. Skipping the ones already installed.
SIDE NOTE: Not sure if 2008 (no longer supported) is needed for game, but installed anyway since it was listed in the EA Play agreement when downloading..

Make sure all above are installed.
Once installed.
Select Alice Madness Returns in the EA App or Xbox Game pass and then the download button and install it should install without issues..
(Also shows in Xbox Game Pass)
ADDITIONAL NOTE: If you already installed and your stuck on 33% or 34%,
Install all above and then retry to download/install.
Deleting files is not required once above is installed and it should just continue to install.
Hope this helps you out.


Try it out and let me know if it helps. 🙌

    Hey man, I finally tried it and yes, it worked! I couldn't install the dot net package BUT my guess is that only the old DirectX Packages were missing.

    Thanks for your help now I can finally play it 🙂 !

    Edit: Ok, I installed it on another PC, had the same issue BUT you can just leave the installer alone. Let it be stuck at 34% and install the first Direct redist. The installation finishes while you install DirectX.
