hello

I will ask for the refund directly, the game is really not good at all...

I play on the French version and the menu is completely buggy, you can't configure the keys of your xbox PC controller, you don't even know what the keys correspond to...

In addition, the game bugs when you choose certain game options...

I was able to play blood omen, legacy of kain soul reaver and defiance but then this PC version is just bad....

Is this a review or a request for help? I'll assume the second option. The game was published when XInput controllers such as yours didn't even exist: it uses DirectInput API. You might want to try using Xidi. I don't know what bugs you are talking about, however, generally speaking, using a DirectX wrapper such as DxWnd, dgVoodoo 2 or dxwrapper.

First off - limit FPS by some wrappers or video driver tool (i recommend Rivauner RTSS, it do better job then official drivers for both AMD and Nvidia). That applied to all games, and to all LoK games too (except BO1 where digital version already limited additionaly to limit exist from 90s).

Second one... there is also wrappers for dinput+xinput components of DirectX.
Ofc no any wrappers make this game native DirectX 10+ and still you should configure gamepads manually. No full gamepad support - so first you need M+KB to get access to menus.

Third one - yes, there is few issues some of them similar for differ localisation, some unique for deu some for fre versions. I saw somewhere - here in forum probably too - there is issues in setup controls in french version doe to translation errors. it still should be possible. Since i cant remember hat exactly issues been i cant provide any useful info here...

I did play FRE versions from GOG (and Deu BO2) - they work for me. Also all games work with Analog General PnP Dinput gamepad. Somehow i didnt get issue even with raziel going in circles for SR1 where analog gamepads not supported. But i use general pad and also move-sensor controller (switched to gamepad mode) - not Xbox. Best solution is have two gamepads. Or some gamepads not from ms that have software\hardware(yes, physical swith) switcher on them for dinput<->xinput modes.
