v1.4.5-win32-release

After working around a particularly infuriating 16-year-old bug that bothered me, I can finally go to bed with both my eyes closed shut

Quick disclaimer: I have not tested the binary with the version 1.5 Steam Workshop update. Use at your own risk

Prerequisites

• A legal copy of Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Steam, GOG.com, Epic Games Store)
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update
• Microsoft DirectX End-User Runtimes (February 2010) (for Windows 2000)
• Microsoft DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010) (for modern Windows)
• OpenAL 1.1 Redistributable

Installation instructions

This assumes that you already have most of the prerequisites listed from above installed onto your system.

1. Scroll down and download the v1.4.5-win32-release.zip archive
2. Open the archive and drag all of its contents into your Amnesia: The Dark Descent installation folder
3. When it asks if you want to overwrite SDL.dll, click on Yes to All / Move and Replace
4. Launch amnesia-Win32-Release.exe from your Amnesia: The Dark Descent installation folder
5. Enjoy! Mods such as custom stories, total and full conversion mods are still compatible with this client.
