Just started playing orcs must die 1 again on my new pc. Top of the range 9800 x3d rtx 5080 etc. I'm getting a wierd glitch where the archers are sliding along the ground instead of running? Any one else having this issue?

Hi, Found a fix to get the game running on Windows 11 24H2. In the following folder: \orcs must die!\data\startup Create a file, user.cfg. Open the file In Notepad, type in window, save and close The game should now run, but in a window

The issue is that concerning a "Failed to initialize the engine" error dialog box is a Window 11-related problem caused by a bad recent Microsoft Update. The Windows gaming community is waiting on a fix from Microsoft as the impact was widespread.

Just downloaded the demo but it doesnt launch, says failed to initialize the engine, any ideas?

don't know how or when i got the game, i see the rest are on sale and i remember great talk about it. should i start with the first game? skip it to the 2nd? or just go all the way to the newest first? whats your thoughts?
