Marvel: Ultimate Alliance Tips

To install it, tell CrossOver Games to select the Setup.exe from the CD, because if you use the default CD, it uses the Flash mainscreen for what to do and CrossOver Games will just crash.  So select the Setup.exe and it will install. 

Now to run the game was tricky, to get this up and running, don't run from the default launcher, it seems like it will work but you will get the first logo screen then a UNEXPECTED ERROR WITH GAME.EXE and it will crash CrossOver Games, so to fix this, actually run the Game.exe from the directory itself and it will run fine. 

One thing that seems to crash the game is if you try to turn on Advance Lighting, not sure if it's actually connected to the GFX installed on the OS, but be careful. 


NOTE: You may also need to install the Microsoft DirectX Modern and Microsoft C++ 2005/2008 if you still can not get this to run. 

If it still crashes also try setting up a Virtual Desktop under WinCFG to 800x600 or 1024x768 (or anything that fits your screen). 


KNOWN ISSUES: Seems to be that the mouse issue also occurs here, it's not and issue since you can use the keyboard or a gamepad for the movement, but it does get in the way sometimes with it just hanging in the center of your screen in the Menu Screens. (XP Bottles don't seem effected by this but the Vista ones do)

Advance Lighting causes a crash. 

Seems to also be a bug as in, the characters do not render at all.  All you see is their shadows and Wolverines claws floating in the air making it hard to play.  I will look into this more.
