Syndicate (2012) Not launching

Same. Ridiculous that a SP game can just be broken like this without a fix. 

Edit: Found this and it worked! Still stupid that it took weeks for me to finally find it.

I have very recent memories of Syndicate as I have got it to work on PC through the EA app (co-op not working servers are shut down) I was previously unable to make it work as it was (technically still is) incompatible with the EA app and only worked with the now unsupported EA ORIGIN app with no fix supplied by EA or any other possible fix via forums online that I could find. I (with the assistance of Co-Pilot and Chat-GPT) have now made it work, by altering some of the values in the Environment.cfg file (Syndicate main folder) (in Visual Studio Code. line 9- SKIPINTRO=1, line 25- VID_FULLSCREEN_WINDOW_TOGGLE_ENABLED=1, line 26- VID_DWIDTH=2560, line 27- VID_DHEIGHT=1440 put your screen res here but the game will default to 1920x1080 which you can change in the settings, don't forget to SAVE changes in VSC or whatever app it opens in) and setting the (\EA Games\Syndicate\System\Win32_x86_Release) Syndicate.exe properties Compatibility mode to Windows 7. It now runs via the EA app. Happy holidays 🎉
