According to your log it seems like it is trying to load the 64bit version of gstreamer even tho the game might be 32bit

As a test does the game start up if you go into the VIDEOS folder and delete the video files in there?

@Blisto91 Yes, that worked.

Obviously not a great solution but good to know 😁

Ok, so, after a while of playing by myself, I wanted to try Multiplayer. I discovered that it doesn't work. When I click on "Host a Game" it plays a voice that says "Waiting for Connection" and something pops on screen for a few milliseconds and disappears. I tried installing directplay (because it seems like that might be the issue) but that didn't work. Maybe somebody knows some more things I can try to configure with directplay or something? Or knows what is missing?

Ok, so I tried some library overrides. I did overrides (native then builtin) for "dplay", "dplayx", "dpnet", and "dpnlobby". Now the multiplayer seems to work. I sucessfully played a match with a friend.

There is still a flickering issue too, the game seems to flicker in the menus and some of the HUD before a match starts. Would be nice to figure out what's wrong with that too.

Nothing extracted yet.
