3. Follow the guide,do a clean/fresh reinstall(delete all folders in Steam with the Alice: Madness Returns game and make sure that the game is located in C:\Program Files(x86) directory.

4. On Intel+NVIDIA (laptops) make sure that Alice:Madness Returns game is using NVIDIA as main GPU in NVIDIA Control Panel.


1. Create a new shortcut by right clicking on the desktop and direct it to the .../Game/Alice1/bin/alice.exe

2. For the newly created shortcut in properties add the command -RunningFromAlice2 after the Target path:
Sample result should look similar to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Alice Madness Returns The Complete Collection\Game\Alice1\bin\alice.exe" -RunningFromAlice2

NB! Your target path should point to YOUR game installation location, which is might be different. Don't just copy and paste this.)

3. This method will allow you to run American McGee's Alice by simply using the shortcut, bypassing the launch through Alice Madness Returns.

This method also eliminated the "alice.exe not found" or ".../bin/alice.exe the parameter is missing" errors that users might experience, while trying to launch through Alice:Madness Returns.
