I've asked around quite a bit but I figured I'd also ask here!

At this point I'm pretty certain there is simply no way to get TEF running on my system, but I've also heard others on windows 11 have been able to run it fine, so there's obviously something about my particular system that's incompatible.

I have DirectPlay installed, the game is located in its default directory.

I can unreliably, sometimes, if I've rolled a nat 20, actually have the game stay open long enough to connect to the servers, but I'm unable to log in or even shift my camera around, which will cause a crash. =/

Usually the game simply launches, the "tale of tales presents" text begins to fade in, the game freezes, and it crashes.

I've tried every compatibility mode under the sun to no avail, and even tried running the game in a virtual machine running windows 7 with the same results.
