Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat

Note please rate this review so others can read this! Hey all after reading all the reviews about it not running I was hestiant in buying it. (I have a laptop win 8.1) However I bought it and installed it with gog galaxy I noticed something odd the galaxy version is much larger then the non galaxy version. This may be the cause that the others had problems. Because the non galaxy version is below 200 mb and i know for a fact that the full version is more than that (because of the movies!). I tested it fully. Battles work everything is great. having a blast. (This game is notoriously hard unless you change the game files advanced users only!) All i need now is to find the game's notepad files and cheat the wounds of the troops from 1 to 2 so they are very hard to kill. Be warned messing with the game file is dangerous. But many experienced vetrans did this way back. Funfact there are some hidden units in the game the developers used to test the game. Theres an alternate version of the grudgebringers in there if i remember correctly. To see them you would have to find their troop name and numbers and copy paste them over the grudgebringers start file (mission 1) (note: its not called mission 1) i think there was also a cannon (to test things by developers) right at start, been a while.

Same Problem: Crashes before first mission. I don't know why...

Can't get past the loading screen for the first mission. Total BS.

Can't get into the first battle, it simply spins and then crashes. The first time I installed it, various .dll files were missing, now that issue is resolved the game won't play...

Absolutely horrendous. How is it that I remember this game running and controlling better on the PS1 than it does on PC? Despite that I will have one unit selected, I will actually be controlling a different unit nearby and giving him commands, even though I never clicked on that unit. At times, my wizard's spells will consume the magic, but he will do nothing, despite that the enemy is well within range. It is so terribly glitchy that I cannot plan or strategize for any battle, despite that being the only thing I'm supposed to be able to do. The best I can do is set my units to walk at the enemy from the start, which is already hard to do because it will randomly select another nearby unit when I'm trying to give them their movement order, and then it will also have the movement order already selected for some units even though I never clicked it, and I can't just click on the map for the unit to move there because I need to click the move order. Seriously, I recall being able to switch between my units and give them clear orders on the PS1 (whether they would obey those orders correctly was a different story), with a controller, but apparently on a much more powerful and precise system (the PC), it's just lucky happenstance if it gives the correct order to the right unit. The fact that I have to already use their terrible interface to give commands would already be bad if it worked properly, but it doesn't even work, so wtf am I supposed to do? I have to control my units through the minimap, since clicking on the units in the battlescreen does nothing, plus you can't scroll out far enough to make use of it anyway. The PS1, with a freaking controller, gave me more control in managing units in a strategy game, than the mouse on a PC does - That's how bad the interface and glitches are in this version of the game.
