Make sure to actually ''extract'' the archive; do not just open the archive and run the game from the window that appears. If you do this then it may appear to work, but your save game data will get discarded. This is the cause of many "my saved games keep getting deleted" complaints. The game also needs to be able to write to its own folder, so do '''not''' install it in C:\Program Files if you are running Windows Vista or later. | Make sure to actually ''extract'' the archive; do not just open the archive and run the game from the window that appears.

The Mac version is not a single application bundle, but like the Windows version it consists of a folder containing the application along with data files and there is no installer. The entire folder can be dragged into the Applications folder or placed elsewhere. As with the Windows version, the game must be able to write to its own folder. | The Mac version is not a single application bundle, but like the Windows version it consists of a folder containing the application along with data files and there is no installer.

The Linux version of the game is shipped as a compiled 32-bit x86 (Intel/AMD) application. It will also run on a system with a 64-bit AMD or Intel processor and a 64-bit kernel, provided that you have the (32-bit) shared libraries available that the program needs. | The Linux version of the game is shipped as a compiled 32-bit x86 (Intel/AMD) application.
