Game Manual button doesn't work (PC)

Post by HeinzHarald »

Nothing happens when I press the button to open the manual in the launch menu (Matrix Games version). I can find and open the manual in the game directory though, so it's not really a problem.

I've just tested and it's working.
Please check if your Internet security programs (like anti-virus) aren't interfering with the game launcher menu.

if you don't use the shortcut and do a auto run from the game install folder, you get this screen

yellow works, red doesn't.

normally you don't see this screen as the shortcut takes you to this one

I have seen this problem before where pdf's refuse to open sometimes due to some corruption in Adobe. The only way I fixed it was by reinstalling Adobe acrobat. As an alternative just go to the games install folder and the manual is in a manual subfolder I think.

Sorry guys. Yesterday I have only tested the Steam version.
I can confirm that this is an issue in no-Steam version.
I will report this.

file works fine like poster said above if manually found, just link doesn't open it, so either way no big deal tbh :wink:
