The first game won't launch but the second one will work fine and launch, anyone else having the same issue? I can get the setup menu buty once I click launch, the game won't launch and the setup menu closes. I tried compatability mode but no dice.

Yes me too, on windows XP the game (The suffering 1) kinda run but nothing happen, it never starts but i know it is running when i open the task manager [url=]http://s1.bild.me/bilder/110417/4096812suffering_running.PNG[/url]

on w7 the game (The suffering 1) works fine

The second game (The suffering Ties that bind) runs both windows XP & w7 like a charm

Try this:

Win7: Click the Start button, type "regedit" in the Search box and hit Enter.
WinXP: Click the Start button, then click on Run and enter "regedit" and hit Enter.

Navigate to HK_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->Surreal->Riot Engine. Delete SettingsDX105.
For 64bit users: Navigate to HK_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->WOW6432->Surreal->Riot Engine.

Next Run Suffering.exe and the config utility box will pop up. Under the Audio tab, uncheck the box next to Use 3D Sound Buffers.

Got it working. I just set comptability mode for Windows 95/98 and it worked fine and yes with the widescreen patch too!

I can't make it to work, there is no surreal entry in the registry. Very strange and annoying situation.

Thank you!
