## Compatible game versions
This software has been tested with all variants of the 1.1 US release.
This includes the GOG.com and Steam re-releases.
## Installation instructions for Windows users
There are different methods to use swe1r-patcher, each has it's own benefits and drawbacks.
### DLL method (recommended)
This method sits between DirectX and the game to wait until the game is about to begin.
This makes it compatible with the Steam release, as it happens after DRM checks.
However, it might be incompatible with other software that uses the same trick.
- Copy "dinput.dll" and "textures" folder into your game directory.
- Run `swep1rcr.exe` to start the game.
### Loader method
This manually modifies the game in memory.
Due to security restrictions, this does not work for everyone.
Also, because the modifications happen very early, it's incompatible with the Steam release.
- Copy "swe1r-loader.exe" and "textures" folder into your game directory (must contain "swep1rcr.exe").
- Run `swe1r-loader.exe` to start the game.
### Patcher method
This changes your "swep1rcr.exe" file permanently.
Because this method does not run the game directly, the patcher also works on macOS and Linux.
However, it is compatible with other hacks, but incompatible with the Steam release because of DRM checks.
- Make a backup copy of your "swep1rcr.exe".
- Run `swe1r-patcher.exe `.
- Run `swep1rcr.exe` to start the game.
