Strap Yourselves In Codex Year of the Donut Codex+ Now Streaming! Torment: Tides of Numenera Wasteland 2 Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
I made this little guide:

1. Download and install the game patched to v. 1.8.
Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?dnetngwnmjj

2. Download and unpack Fowyr's fix.
Link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/63bb2e6kikb6deg/ptd18fix4.rar/file

3. From unpacked fix's folder copy events.txt and people.txt to the main folder of the game overriding old files.

4. Delete events.bin from the game's main folder.

5. Download and unpack DxWnd.
Link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/

6. Run dxwnd.exe, then:
I) Click "Edit"
II) Click "Add"
III) Click "..." next to "Path:" and direct it to ..\Prelude.exe (which is in the game's main folder)
IV) Disable "Run in Window"
V) In "Window initial position & size" choose width and height of the resolution you want to use
VI) Click "OK"

7. From now on you can double click the game's icon in DXWnd and run it in Windows 10 in high resolution.


Issues
1. Laptop touchpads will not work in the game. You need to use USB mouse.
What else would you suggest I could add to it? I'm trying to figure out how to run it in widescreen for now.

A game with zero internet presence, not even a Wikipedia page as far as I can tell, and you use an acronym for the thread title. Okay.

How do I run E:XtR in Windows 10?

Alright, good point, but it's in the game's subforum.

I've been meaning to play that game but it was too damn broken. How does it look with these adjustments?

Better, I hope I'll figure out how to make it run in widescreen. Deadman did, so maybe I'll just wait for him.
