====== 4 Elements - How to Start ======

**My FIX - to use it!**

  - get DXWnd http://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/?source=typ_redirect
  - start DXWnd
  - go on Edit than Add
  - Name it - 4Elements - 4E ... what ever you want :) 
  - get the Path: ( YourDrive:\Steam\SteamApps\common\4 Elements\4 Elements.exe )
  - same to Launch:
  - You are under "Main" in the Generic Section disable all - but not "use DLL Injection", when there is no mark - mark it pls
  - Under "Video" disable all in "Windows handling" and "Color managment" 
  - in "Screen resolution" it should marked "SVGA modes" and "Limit resolution:", take "1024x768"
  - Go to DirectX under\\ "DirectX Version hook" = Automatic\\ "Emulation" = None\\ "Filtering" = ddraw default\\ "DirectDraw \\ Surface ... = nothing marked same to AERO handling
  - Go to "Direct3D", on this you sould have ONLY the Radio Button\\ "Swap Effect" = Discard\\ and "Texture handling" = None\\ leave the rest empty.
  - At "Libs"\\ "GDI" = No GDI handling\\ "Kernal" = Default\\ under "OpenGL" activate "Hook OpenGL" and "Force Hook"\\ under "MM" activate "Remap MCI coordinates"
  - "Compat."\\ Take and activate the "Fake Version" - Windows 7 and activate under "Registry" "Emulate Registry" - leve all other on that side unmarked.\\ enjoy!

**ERROR LIST:**

  * CREATE PROCESS error=740\\ that means (in normal way) that anything cant be "created" - like a LOGFile, a setting.ini or 
something like that. So please try to start dxwnd in administrator mode. Maybe you sould give the main file (4 Elements.exe) administrative rights.
  * CREATE PROCESS error=2\\ at normal way, it means the same like error=740 - pls test it and inform me again

when you have more information, better settings, errors ... write it here thx!

**Tweaks-Special-help...:**

  * SAVE YOUR DATA: ( thx justmiike)
    * Save file location: C:\ProgramData\Playrix Entertainment\4 Elements
    * The file you need is GameInfo.xml.
    * Copy the file to: ...Steam\steamapps\common\4 Elements\Base
    * This will restore your save progress.

  * RUN SMOOTHER:
    * On older CPU activate, under "Main", "Optimize CPU. With older AMD CPU´s i had crashes - someone else? - Intel CPU´s = no Problem.
