Dear Oddworld Fans!

I want to help people to be able to decide to buy this game or not in upcoming Steam sales and not to be worried about launch problems that are popping up on the forums and I want to help returning fans of the series to enjoy this rare experience again.

One thing to consider, before you do this:

YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PLAY THE GAME, BUT STEAM OVERLAY (achievements, steam clock, screenshot function, gametime-counter, etc.) WON'T RUN, BUT IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE GAME, THIS IS ALL YOU NEED !

Don't be afraid, it is easy to accomplish.
Please try the following :

1. After you start Steam, right click on your Steam icon right next to your Windows Time (lower right corner) or open up Steam big screen (not in BIG PICTURE mode, just open Steam on fullscreen)

2. Open your Steam Library and search for Oddworld : Stranger's Wrath

3. Right click on its name in your library

4. From the pop-up menu, choose the deep bottom option called " Properties "

5. Then choose and click on the " Local Files " tab from the three tabs, called " General ", " Updates " and "Local Files "

6. Click on the " Browse Local Files " button (from the 4 buttons, it is the one on the top)

7. This opens up your default Windows File Browser so you can see your Stranger's Wrath folder inside Steam (something like C: or D:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Stranger's Wrath)

8. Look for the application icon called " Launcher " (with the little Oddworld Inhabitants logo, that looks like a ' W ')

9. Right click on the " Launcher " and from the pop-up menu, choose the " Send to > Desktop (create shortcut) " option (it is usually somewhere in the middle-lower part of the right click menu)

10. Close your File Browser and look for the " Launcher " icon on your Windows Desktop

11. Right click on it and choose " Rename " (it is almost at the bottom of the list) and add it a new name, like Stranger's Wrath or Oddworld 4 or anything you would like to call it.

12. From now on, load up Steam and start the game from the Windows Desktop using double left mouse click, pressing Enter on your keyboard or using right mouse click, and choosing the " Open " command in the top of the pop-up menu

13. Please enjoy!
