Merchants of Brooklyn (M.O.B.) / Drug Wars  Topic is solved

Post by Terje_P »

How to use steam emulator
#My own modified version of ColdClientLoader originally by Rat431
[SteamClient]
Exe=Launcher.exe
ExeRunDir=.
ExeCommandLine=
#IMPORTANT:
AppId=26300

SteamClientDll=steamclient.dll
SteamClient64Dll=steamclient64.dll

Run with steamclient_loader.exe afterwards. exerundir=. works as long as the goldberg emulator is in the bin32 directory.
Pre requirements
For the game
Merchants of Brooklyn\Installers
Crash on start:
https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/detail ... inity.html
Used this and give it like 8 threads.
Game crashes on just 1 and above 12.
For people running older consumer intel CPUs this fix shouldnt be needed.


Possible performance improvement
I had some perceived performance increase by using this wrapper in DX10 mode
https://fdossena.com/index.php?p=wined3d/index.frag and setting all of the settings to low
Force Dx9 mode ExeCommandLine=-dx9 Try it both with and without the wrapper, as what works best on your system may vary. I personally got graphical issues when using the wrapper and setting the ingame settings to anything higher than low for anything except the textures.
Game download
With the original scene release the game would crash on level load, even with the updates installed. I have already posted this in the game support section, but I feel my post went above the purpose of that section. Want to see if others have any luck with running the game before an official upload to legends world. Sorry for all the edits, I just couldnt be so close to a solution and yet so far away.

I can confirm that this worked for jambo at least, I'm not sure what exactly he ended up doing.
