Tunnel Rats solution. Windows 10 64bit Topic is solved

[Terje_P]

This worked for me.

Install:
https://www.nvidia.com/object/physx-9.1 ... river.html

Use a Wine3D wrapper

Download old version
Version 1.7.52
For Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8/10

For DirectX 9 games:
copy d3d9.dll, libwine.dll and wined3d.dll in the game's executable directory

If someone else can confirm that they got the game working that would be great.


If physx legacy don't work use and old version of Physx

Requires later version of physx to be uninstalled in order to install.

Installing physx or physx legacy again will uninstall it and break games that requires it.


Sorry for the confusing instructions....

tunnel rats worked fine till close to the end of chapter 2 then it started crashing again and i get the same error as with steam slug i am not gonna waste my time trying to fix it the game wasnt even good

[Terje_P]

Ok, i may have switched from physx 8.x to legagy during my time playing (did some testing). Just finished the game.

[jambo]

so how did you even manage to complete tunnel rats old physx gives me startup error cant play the game at all and legacy drivers i can play the game till chapter 2 i was on the end of chapter 2 the helicopter did not appear i restarted the checkpoint now it crashes when i try to go to that helicopter place again it always crashes at the same point

I used the wrapper as the game will instantly hang as soon as you finished loading any level without it on Windows 10. It will essentially run it in OpenGL.

EDIT:
The helicopter not appearing is a game bug, happens if some enemies are not spawned, happened to me just now. Replaying it did fix it though with no crash using physx legacy and the DX9 wrapper.

The game may behave differently if you are using Windows 7....I'm on Windows 10.

[jambo]

yeah i used that wrapper right from the start i still had those issues and yeah i use windows 7 enterprise 64 bit
i did not try to replay the whole level though
the crash happened for me when i reloaded last checkpoint i did not reset the whole level

Save files as you are basically at the end of the level, only missing the last tunnel with a snake and a level exit.

Video with entire campaign in case you get lost, the uploader is also lost at times so it is somewhat hard to follow the "guide":

If all the instant-death obstacles aren't sufficiently frustrating, the checkpoint-only save system forces you repeatedly through the same trap-infested tunnels, unless of course you get the loading bug, in which case you'll have to restart the level entirely. Another bug will send you clipping into forbidden areas from which you can't escape, and additionally, every time you die, you lose the ability to throw grenades for the remainder of the level, so do adjust your strategy accordingly.

Forgot to say that I'm playing the steam version.

[jambo]

ok i try it in the future if i can even bother to play this game again

[jambo]

i used the pirated version it shouldnt matter the game never got updates either

[Terje_P]

I have confirmed that this will work with the legit Steam version, which would otherwise throw up an error upon loading the first level. Played the game all the way up to the Dawn level without a wrapper

Looks like steam somehow overwrote my newest physx , so that is why it worked. The game still requires Physx System Legacy on a system which the latest Physx is already installed.

There are a lot of bad reviews on the Tunnel Rat! But I want to tell everyone that the quality of the game of the tunnel mouse is very good. The only problem is that the AI's life value is too thick. Players need 30 bullets to destroy an AI. This is a disaster for FPS games.

This game has poor compatibility with modern graphics cards and drivers, and it has poor compatibility with laptop dual graphics cards.

I used the old GTS250+ driver to successfully pass the level, and I also made simulation corrections to the cfg and ini parameters.

If the developer hires me to guide the game, I can make this game one of the top ten in steam sales.

that fix which terje posted worked perfectly for me i was finally able to complete the game without issues
