🔗 Step 1: Download the required files

🗂️ Step 2: Copy the files to the proper directory

For Windows:

Extract and copy the Alice1 folder into the following directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Alice Madness Returns
Extract VorpalFix.zip and copy the content into the new directory:
.\Alice1\bin

For Steam Deck and Linux:

Extract and copy the Alice1 folder into the following directory:
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Alice Madness Returns
Extract VorpalFix.zip and copy the content into the new directory:
./Alice1/bin/
Go to the game properties on Steam and set the launch options to:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES=“winmm.dll=n,b” %command%

🎮 Step 3: Launch the game

If you haven’t done so already, launch Alice: Madness Returns at least once to generate the configuration files.

🛠️ Step 4: Edit the configuration file

For Windows:
Navigate to the following directory:
C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\My Games\Alice Madness Returns\AliceGame\Config

For Steam Deck and Linux:
Navigate to the following directory:
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/19680/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/My Games/Alice Madness Returns/AliceGame/Config/
Open the AliceEngine.ini file with a text editor.
Modify the following lines:
1. Line 963
  GIsSpecialPCEdition=FALSE
  Change FALSE to TRUE:
  GIsSpecialPCEdition=TRUE
2. Line 962
  Alice1Path=..\..\..\Alice1\bin
  Adjust the path by removing one ’..', so it becomes:
  Alice1Path=..\..\Alice1\bin

✅ Step 5: ENJOY!

After making these changes, launch Alice: Madness Returns. You will now have access to the exclusive outfits and weapons from the Complete Edition, as well as the ability to play American McGee’s Alice directly from the main menu.

I have an update on my situation from before, sorry for double-posting: I was able to fix what was happening before by setting up the first Alice game's 2011 remaster under Heroic Games Launcher by adding it as an external game and was able to properly apply the DLL override to make VorpalFix work there, add the game to Steam as a shortcut and everything works and launches as it should. For anyone using Linux who went through what I was going through on my last post, treat Alice 1 and Madness Returns as separate game installs this way. Hopefully this will help anyone else who might have gone through what I did as well.

I sent you an invitation to find a fix

Everything worked up to the point where I had to set up VorpalFix for Alice 1. I run on Linux and I'm not unfamiliar with DLL overrides as I've used them many times before with other games but for one reason or another I can't get it to run the game with VorpalFix using the properties menu. I tried it using Madness Returns' properties and also tried adding the first game as a non-Steam game and adding it to the properties that way but to no avail. Everything was where it should be and the games were running, I just am hung up on VorpalFix for one reason or another. I'm sure this works perfectly fine on Windows, and probably other Linux setups as well, but I'm guessing I'll just have to keep troubleshooting or see if someone else finds a solution.

I attempted to load the alice1 and got an error of no `default.cfg`. Any solution for that?
