Genre: Platform Release Year: 2000 Developer: Rogue Entertainment Publisher: Electronic Arts Age Rating: 18+ Playability Status: Perfect Tested On: Windows 10 x64, Windows 8 x64 Availability: Copyright retained - Still soldIf there’s one genre that’s not well represented on the PC, the platform game must surely be it.
There have been few PC exclusive platform games throughout the years, due at least in part to there being no standard PC gamepad to play them on until recently. Curiously, the dark fantasy themed platform game American McGee’s Alice was launched as a PC exclusive in 2000 and would not receive a console port until 2011.
Despite launching on the PC, a platform not well known for platform games, the game went on to become a success and remains popular to this day, with original print-run copies changing hands for hundreds of dollars on e-bay. If you’re lucky enough to find a copy of the game, getting it to run on a modern PC is fairly easy.
If you have played the recently released sequel, Alice – Madness returns, or if you’re simply curious to see this warped version of wonderland yourself, you will find much to enjoy down this particular rabbit hole. InstallationAmerican McGee’s Alice should install on Windows 7 and 8 PCs without any difficulties. Simply place the first CD-ROM in your computers optical drive and follow the on-screen prompts. If the installation does not start automatically, browse to the CD in your computer and double click on the “autoplay.exe” file.During the installation process, the installer will ask if you want to install the “Typical” version or the “Low memory” version. Obviously, you should choose “Typical”.Windows 10 installationFor some reason (probably related to the games copy protection) the game will NOT install correctly on Windows 10 machines. In order to play Alice on a Windows 10 machine you will need to follow these steps. Install the game from the CDs as normal.
Make a note of the installation directory. Place Alice CD1 back into your computers optical drive. Download and run.Our American McGee’s Alice Windows 10 fix program will copy the missing files from the CD-ROM and fix the missing shortcuts. Please note we’ve only tested this on the one machine, so please do let us know if it works for you. The fix does NOT automatically detect your Alice game folder, so if you installed to a folder other than the default, you will need to enter this path manually when the fix program asks you where to install.
Remember, you will still need the first CD in your computers optical drive when you play the game. Improving visual qualityBeing almost a decade and a half old, the visuals of American McGee’s Alice have dated somewhat. For best results on a modern PC, we recommend you install either the Alice HD upgrade or the American McGee’s Alice – Madly Enhanced upgrade. Deciding on which of these to install is largely a matter of personal taste.The American McGee’s Alice HD texture pack can be downloaded. This is a complete high resolution re-texturing/revamp of the game, the HUD and the menus. It also includes a cheat menu, new enemies, widescreen fixes and much more.The Madly Enhanced upgrade can be downloaded.
This upgrade includes enhanced textures and also tweaks certain weapons to make them more balanced. When downloading this mod, be sure to download both parts and install the V1 part first. This pack also includes the updated textures that were included with the 2011 re-release of the game (which came bundled with certain versions of the sequel, Alice – Madness Returns).Both of the upgrades are downloaded as.zip files. To install them, you need to open your American McGee’s Alice installation folder. By default this can be found at “C:Program Files (x86)EA GamesAmerican McGee’s Alice”. Inside this folder is a sub-folder called “Base”.
Copy the entire contents of the.zip file(s) you downloaded into the Base sub-folder. That’s all that is needed to install either of the HD upgrades.Later in the guide we will show you how to play the game in widescreen and HD resolutions, but you should set up controls, sound and the in-game visual quality options before you attempt this. Configuring ControllersAmerican McGee’s Alice has no native game controller support at all. If you want to use your game controller, you will need to use Xpadder. Below is a picture of our Xpadder profile.Alice will walk if you hold down the shift key and run otherwise.
To implement this on the gamepad, we used the Xpadder distance zone feature. If you’re unfamiliar with configuring distance zones in Xpadder,.The rest of the mappings are fairly self-explanatory. Jump is mapped to Y, which could easily be switched with A if desired. When climbing ropes or vines, you need to use B to climb down and A to climb up. The “N” key is mapped to the back button on the pad.
Alice Madness Returns Steam
This performs a special function, which we will discuss later.You may need to increase mouse sensitivity in game. This can be done by going to the Settings menu and then clicking on Game Options (the top part of the head).
Tweaking Sound optionsAmerican McGee’s Alice features a rather stunning surround sound soundtrack. Unfortunately, like most games from this era, this is only supported through EAX, which relies on OS components no longer present in Windows Vista, 7 or 8. If you have a EAX capable sound card however, you can use the Creative ALchemy software to restore EAX functionality. Simply start ALchemy and the software will detect that you have installed American McGee’s Alice. Select the game from the list of installed games and click the “” button.Now, start the game and go to the Settings menu. A menu will appear in the shape of a human head. Click near the ears on the head to access the audio options. Now, select “EAXZ” as the sound driver.
Below this option, make sure to set speaker type to “Surround” (or to match whatever speakers you are using). Make sure “Quality” is set to 44khz and that “Force 8bits” is deselected. You should now get the full surround sound soundtrack restored to the game!If you don’t have an EAX capable sound setup you can still improve sound quality with a few tweaks. Go to the sound setup as described above but leave the sound driver on the default option.
Change the sound quality to 44khz and make sure “Force 8bits” is deselected. Tweaking visual optionsThere are a number of quality settings that you can change in the game. If you intend to apply the widescreen mod, you should make sure to set these options before you apply that mod. Start the game and from the games main menu, choose “Settings”. A menu will appear in the shape of a human head.
Click near the eyes on the head to access video options.On a modern PC, all of the above options should be set to the maximum, as shown in the picture above. The only exception is brightness, which of course should be set to taste (avoid setting this too high else you will lose detail in the brightest parts of the image). Pay particular attention to the Texture depth and Color Depth options, these should be set to 32 bit on all modern machines.If you aren’t intending to use the widescreen fix, you can also select your screen resolution from this menu. If you are, leave the resolution as 640×480 for now (and do not attempt to change it from this menu in the future!).
Playing in widescreenAt this point, we strongly recommend you test all your settings (sound, graphics and controls) and make sure that they are acceptable before making these final tweaks. If you make further changes to the games settings after you have configured widescreen HD resolutions, you will need to come back here and make some or all of these changes again.To run American McGee’s Alice in HD widescreen resolutions, we are going to need to edit a config file by hand. The file in question is called “config.cfg” and resides in your American McGee’s Alice installation folder in the sub-folder “Base” (“C:Program Files (x86)EA GamesAmerican McGee’s AliceBase” by default).
If you are using the American McGee’s Alice HD texture pack, then you should edit the file “autoexec.cfg” file instead. If you are unfamiliar with editing configuration files,.Open the appropriate file in your favourite editor and add or edit the following lines for 720p resolution:- seta rcustomwidth '1280'seta rcustomheight '720'for 1080p add/edit:- seta rcustomwidth '1920'seta rcustomheight '1080'Or for any other resolution, substitute the values for those applicable to your monitor. We have tested up to 4k (3840 x 2160).Next, add the following line to the key bindings section near the top of the file (anywhere after the “unbindall” command).
Note that you should skip this step if you are using the American McGee’s Alice HD texture pack as the FOV (field of view) is already corrected with this mod. Bind n 'fov 106.27'If you see our Xpadder configuration above, you can see that the letter “N” is assigned to our back button. If you simply configure American McGee’s Alice to run in widescreen, the camera will be too close to Alice. By adding this key binding, each time you load or save a game or change a level, you can press the back button on the controller to fix the camera in the proper position. If you are using a 16:10 screen mode, use the value 100.39 in place of 106.27.
Unfortunately this is the only way to fix the camera position (other than installing the HD texture pack), setting the fov manually in the config file will not work.If you’re NOT using the HD texture pack, you should also complete the following two steps, otherwise skip these too.Search the config.cfg file for the following line:- seta rmode 'x'Remove the line above, if it exists. Finally, add the following line:- seta rmode '-1'Now, save your changes. If you have difficulty saving your changes, see the troubleshooting section below under “Problems saving games”.You are now ready to guide Alice through the madness of wonderland. Start the game as normal and if you followed the instructions above correctly, the game should run in your chosen widescreen resolution. TroubleshootingCustom screen resolutions not applied or reset:- If the game resets your custom screen resolution, you may need to go back into the config.cfg and add the changes again. Particularly, check for the line that reads seta rmode “-1”. Without this line your custom resolution will not work.Graphical glitches:- If the game exhibits graphical glitches, such as white squares showing up, loss of textures entirely, or buildings/geometry getting smeared over the screen, try this fix.
Browse to the games installation folder (“C:Program Files (x86)EA GamesAmerican McGee’s AliceBase” by default) and find the Alice or Alice.exe file. It must be the executable file, don’t get the icon (alice.ico) file by mistake!. Right click on “Alice.exe” and choose “Rename”. Enter “quake3” as the new name.
Be sure not to delete the.exe extension, so the full name of the file should be “quake3.exe”. Run the game. Hopefully your graphical glitches are gone.
Optionally, update the games shortcut to point to the renamed file. If you’re not sure how to do this,Why does this work?
Well, aren’t you the curious one? American McGee’s Alice uses the same game engine as the first person shooter game Quake 3. By re-naming the games executable file to Quake3.exe, we actually trick windows into thinking it is Quake 3 we’re playing. Windows then applies some special compatibility fixes for Quake 3, that work well with Alice too.Problems saving games:- Like many old titles, American McGee’s Alice saves its game data into the same folder as the game itself.
In some instances on more modern versions of Windows, this will mean that save games cannot be written. To solve this problem you can either run the game as administrator (right click on the games icon and choose “Run as administrator”) or, better still, set the permissions on your Alice game folder so that your user account has full control. You can find a tutorial on how to configure folder permissions. ScreenshotsThe screenshots below show the game running in 1080p. Click on any of the pictures to see it at full size. I have a problem.
My computer is not responding to the resolution change.If you have GTA 3 from steam, you’ll know what I mean when I say that my computer changes its resolution and not the game. My game doesn’t change its resolution. The actual monitor changes its resolution and I can’t get it to stop.
So, I can’t even tell if the actual program is running or not. All I’m able to see is the left upper-hand corner of the screen- far enough to see “New Game” and maybe “Settings” -but the screen is so small that I can’t reach anything on the right side to even close the window. Like I said, it isn’t the PROGRAM that changes its resolution. It’s the actual monitor’s pixelation changing.
If I put anything into the resolution, it will revert back after two or three tries. Not immediately, but it still reverts back. This not only makes the game unplayable, but inescapable. I suppose you could say it’s maddening. But anyways, do you have any idea what’s going on, and is it the actual.exe causing the resolution change or not? Hi Thanks for all the info.
I wish my computer just ran everything as you say your computer does. In the last 3 days I have struck out with No One Lives Forever and Alice. I finally, after about 8 hours, got Alice’s Return to work after going through a ridiculous activation sequence that had to be researched. BTW y discs are all original. I read the info on the Microsoft link; do I delete the update with the inherent risks or use the command prompt and set it to disable, enable, or auto?
In your opinion I am leaning towards auto. It’s difficult and really I doubt anyone would say that using a crack to get a game you legitimately own to work again is anything other than fair use. After Paypal froze loads of my money for offering 100% legal game console mods, repairs and upgrades on my other site, just because to them mods = piracy, I take no chances with anything! If a game needs a crack to run the best I can allow is for you to post the MD5 hash of it and the name of the cracking group, then folks can Google for it, but obviously I can take no responsibility for the site(s) that host such things. Yes thank you. I did the Regedit to get this working on my Windows 7 machine.
Sadly on my new Windows 10 machine that is not possible. Mine is a clean install Windows 10 so that driver doesn’t exist. I read if one has upgraded from 7 or 8/8.1 to 10 then the driver/service can be re enabled in 10. But for me I am out of luck.
Really cross MS doesn’t give users a choice. I know securom or safedisc is horrible but the reality is EA are big offenders and much of library are affected by the move of MS.
Oh well, I need to source a no cd exe. Trouble is the type of sites that host them can be risky what with malware etc. Makes me nervous in trying to source. Yep I can concur. It will only run with a no cd executable. Sadly the sort of sites that host those are to be treated with caution due to malware. I got it running in my machine but an observation is Windows 10 didn’t install it fully.
Probably due to copy protection. When I looked at my installation on my Windows 7 machine I noticed the sounds folder was missing and the Alice.exe were missing. Luckily I copied these across over my network. Of course the Alice.exe is useless as you need to replace it with a no cd version. So after doing that it ran but it’s a messy old process. I wonder why links to no cd patches are so frowned upon. We are all legit purchasers of the game.
When MS shafts us we are forced to workaround this. Seems pretty unfair.
I sourced the no cd patch through a site. It was a nerve wrecking moment as I worry about malware etc and I feel disgusted that MS (and also EA) has made me do it. All because of this ghastly securom/safedisc saga.
Unfortunately like the previous poster I cannot link it and you’ll need to do a google search to source. Make sure your virus protection is updated and tread carefully. Yeah sorry that wasn’t aimed at you or the site. It’s just a generic comment. Just sucks that MS has done this and a few of us fans are having to tread murky waters to play games. It’s the legit purchasers who get hit hardest. If MS are going to do such draconian measures they should go through every safedisc game and host the patched exe files.
EA should get involved too as they are the worst offenders. Of course this will never happen!Perhaps MS would argue people shouldn’t be expecting games to run that are older on a new OS. But they have basically stomped on a vast percentage of games, some of which are classics. A slice of the PC history.
Why they want to destroy something that has been so good about Windows versions through the years in having a vast catalogue and great backward capability is puzzling. Sadly there is more chance of a game released pre 2002 running on Windows 10 than there is one released between 2002 to 2009 approx.I keep getting safedisc and securom mixed up. Don’t know how to tell which game has which. I guess Alice must use safedisc.
I did install Battlefield 2 the other day which is old (circa 2005) and to my surprise it worked without any manipulation. Must mean EA done securom on that one!
I’m absolutely losing my mind here, so if you have any suggestions I would really appreciate it. Someone else commented with the same problem but didn’t get a response.I have Alice: Madness Returns The Complete Collection. It launches fine, the controls work great, but I can’t save my game. When I go to the save screen I get a message stating “Disk Full”, suggesting I delete save game files (of which at this point I have none).
This is definitely not a space issue. Fixes I’ve tried that haven’t worked include:1) Setting the executable to run as administrator. This causes actually adds another issue; every time I run the game the config file in My Documents is overwritten with default settings.2) Unchecked Read-Only on the attributes for all of the game’s folders.3) Added my Windows 10 account to the permissions tab of all game-related folders and gave it full permission.4) Created save folders in both the My Games/American McGee’s Alice and the installed folder’s base folder.Still no luck.
A couple of notes on my installation, my boot drive is an SSD, so I have all of my games installed on a secondary hard drive for space reasons. So, as opposed to a typical setup, my games are installed into F:PC Games. Could it be some kind of issue with the folder path, or does this game have some sort of issue writing to SSD (where the My Games folder is still located)?If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.
Of the few results I’ve seen in Google for this issue there haven’t been any responses. I ran the game as administrator, and I also made sure all save folders and configuration files were given full control for administrator as well as my own Windows user account. However, I was able to fix my problem.Due to my boot drive (C:) being an SSD, I have a secondary hard drive for expanded storage where I install my games to. So, while a typical installation for Steam or any other install of the game would be in “C:Program Files (x86)”, my game is installed in F:PC Games. Apparently Windows 10 assigns specific writing permission for programs in the default Program Files folders.
To fix the problem, I moved the Alice1 folder to the Program Files folder. This should fix the problem for anyone running Alice on a Windows 10 PC. If Madness Returns is installed in an alternate location the AliceEngine ini file will need to be updated so that Alice1Path contains the full path to Alice1’s bin folder.Hopefully this saves someone a headache in the future. Hello, sorry if my problem seems obvious or dumb, I’m pretty new to PC gaming and am still learning a lot.I have the PC-CD version of the original Alice, and after installing it on Windows 10 with the Madly Enhanced upgrade, the game seems to have installed and be working ok. My problem is that it won’t recognize any USB controllers that I plug in and will only work with keyboard controls.The controllers work absolutely fine with any other games, show up as connected hardware etc, they just won’t work with THIS game whatsoever.
Thank You very much for your valuable work which I appreciate very much! Alice has, perhaps surprisingly enough, worked well on all my systems up until win10 when it failed (I understand why since you wrote about the security stuff update with which the game is incompatible). However, thanks to your fix everything works! Ah I can finally return to Wonderland again!;) Thanks a lot! Btw installing for example winxp on virtualbox and running Alice through that doesn’t work (errormessage “unload debugger and try again) so no need for anyone to try that. I applied the fix for Win 10 and that works good. I’m having a problem with the widescreen settings tho’.
I’m using dual monitors, both are 1920×1080. Before putting the custom resolution changes in, the game fills up the screen in 640×480 mode but moves icons from the main monitor to the secondary one, I assume because it’s changing the resolution of the primary monitor which is expected.So I put in the custom resolution lines along with the seta rmode “-1” line (I did not find a seta rmode “x” line). I put all of it at the end of all the seta items, just before the //// Aliases// at the end of the file.
(note that when I open the file in notepad, it doesn’t have any “lines per se, it’s just all run together. I don’t know if it’s supposed to be like that or not.) So the last part of the file looks like this:seta cgcameradist “128.000000”seta rcustomwidth “1920”seta rcustomheight “1080”seta rmode “-1″//// Aliases//I save the file and close notepad. I opened it again to make sure it was saved properly and it was.When I run the game again, it appears that it is resetting resolution to 640×480.
When I quit the game, I open the config file and the added lines are gone.I have not added the bind n line as yet. I am not using either of the HD packs yet.Any ideas on this?
I have started to have problems with the game today and I have windows 8. I have the original CD and the game was working just fine before. Now I’ve started playing it again and I’ve noticed some bugs when I enter Pandemonium. First, at the beginning of the cutscene when Alice jumps onto the roller coaster, it stays stuck.
She just remains standing there and the game does not proceed to show her riding it. So I exit the cutscene by pressing the esc button. Another bug happens when I try to enter the two doors that lead into the building to get the key. The first door opens just fine, but the second one will not open and therefore I cannot proceed through the level. The door only shakes a little bit when I go near it, but it won’t open all the way.Could this have something to do with system updates? It has been a year since I last played the game but it was working just fine at that time. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game twice and that didn’t work.
I’ve tried using both discs with no luck. I even had the madly enhanced texture pack at first, so I removed the files thinking those might have been the problem. Nope, it still had those problems even without the texture pack.
I have tried restarting my computer as well. Nothing worked.Do you possibly have a suggestion for this issue? It’s working! In Win 10 with all the mods! I just have to see if she will climb up the vine inside the stump in Wholly Morel Ground. In my version bundled with Madness Returns, she will not climb up and I’m stuck there in the game.
But I had this old version I bought a long time ago and it works. I installed everything just as was suggested above, and even learned how to edit a.cfg file in notepad. I did’t screw anything up and it’s plying fabulously. Thanks so much, Alice and Madness are the only games I have ever had an interest in. This will probably be my only post, so I just want to share that I used the Alice Fix file and it worked.
At first I didn’t read through the article but when my display was screwed up I did, and at that point I decided what the hell I might as well go for the HD upgrade so I could get full screen anyway, so I did and it worked! I’m a fifty-nine year old who didn’t grow up with computers, barely got past algebra and nearly failed Physics. We had a chance to learn BASIC when I was in high school but I wasn’t interested. I’m good at math and logic now, so I think a lifetime of learning patience helps, but I’ll be danged – I got it right almost immediately. I put trying to set this up for about a year now because I didn’t think I would have such luck!
But now I’m totally pumped! Just one question though. Is there any way I could make an iso of the game and place it on a virtual ROM? So I don’t have to have the CD in there all the time?
