Getting the game to work

Download claw 1.3 here: http://bombch.us/Bkeu

For whatever reason, this particular version of claw can work on Windows 8+ without the windows 8 lag, by enabling DirectDraw Emulation in clawadv.exe. The Lag was only reduced when the game files themselves were in a folder on the desktop (although I did not test this extensively). Windows 7 and below does not have this lag.

I recommend using dxwnd (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/) simply because it is much easier to resize the window, tab out, etc. dxwnd may also reduce lag slightly more than just DirectDraw emulation.

(Note this video uses a out dated version of Wineskin so follow the 2nd video if it helps also this video may have taken different steps so it will help you understand if you main language is Portuguese but if not then just follow the 2nd one. Also all credit for discovering this goes to REBORN1000X for finding this out originally all I just did was make a more updated version with little changes that did take a bit to figure out)

Written steps
After getting the downloads 
Part 1: Getting the game to launch 
- Open Wineskin Winery install the latest updates and hit the update button
Click "Create New Black Wrapper"
- In the wrapper name field type "incertnamehere" (without commas), This should make a Wineskin app with the name u put for the game. 
- After making the game app go into launch pad and open the app u just named from there.
-Click “Install Software” then Click “Chose Setup Executable”
- Find the “Setup.exe”
- Install the game 
- Click on "OK" 
There going to be a few things popping up asking to install an install them both they are just thing need to be install by the setup to run the game. 

Part 2: Before hitting install steps

 -Hit no on desktop shortcut that pops up. The reason is this shortcut the installer for claw give as an option is a windows version of the desktop shortcut for the claw.exe so that version will never launch right if you try to launch it only the wineskin claw app you made is where you can launch it from. If you would like to copy the claw app just copy it over from the “Finder” to the desktop. Also if you were gonna make a copy of the claw app just do it at the very end.

-2 boxes to be checked first one asking to get a read me version of the game second one asking to launch right away. Leave them both uncheck 

- Now before u click open when game installed leave that part unchecked because theres one more step 
 -This PART IS THE MOST IMPORTANT because if you select the wrong thing the game will not end up even launch right. This the part where after you hit install an 'choose executable' should pop up where its says "Please select which executable file is normally used in windows to start this program" I recommend you go to the 
 video i linked second an got to the time stamp at 7:36 and watch to understand what to do better and not get confused. 
- At this point there should be 3 options but only one is right or your game will not launch if you select the wrong one to install. 
 I am not sure if they could be in different order for you but if it is then follow the video to get a better understanding 
Do not select the 1 that say 
/installshield installation information (There should be a bunch of codes ) 
- The one that has claw.exc at the end of its name is the right now should work once you select it (If your game didn't launch at this part that means you select the wrong one and you need to go back and start over at the part where you 'Create New Blank Wrapper') 
-After that close Wineskin an go to launchpad where you should see the claw game on a Wineskin logo an launch the game 

Part 3: After installing
-(grey screen part) This is where it gets hard I had a grey screen pop up that could happen to you to or not but click on bottom right of that grey screen. 
-Other than that grey screen once you hit the bottom right it which you can see but it would be there if it was not glitch it should take you to the next page where its fine asking for the claw registration key which is in the CLAW CD RIP folder (it becomes a folder once you unzip it or which you do by opening). If you are having trouble unzipping it heres is the code [ 839E794F-6A30-4056-92C0-42B5240C252B ]
- Once you put the code in and gotten past other pages asking to accept shit you should end up at the last page 
 -You're Done now



Made a list of problems with solutions steps that may occurred. Note that more maybe added to the list over time.

Im just gonna number down the problems that may have problems occurred to you with the solutions. If you still having trouble after trying all these’s steps could u screenshot the error/problem that comes up upload it to imgur.com[Imgur is an online image sharing site] an reply back with an image link of you problem so I can have a better understanding of whats wrong.

I think you may have messed up at 7:36 so go back
 and watch to understand what to do better and this is normal mess up it even happen to me when I was trying to make this video. 
- At this point there should be 3 options but only one is right or your game will not launch if you select the wrong one to install. 
 I am not sure if they could be in different order for you but if it is then follow the video to get a better understanding 
Do not select the 1 that say 
/installshield installation information (There should be a bunch of codes ) 
- The one that has claw.exc at the end of its name is the right now should work once you select it (If your game didn't launch at this part that means you select the wrong one and you need to go back and start over at the part where you 'Create New Blank Wrapper’) 
-To delete the broken version of the Claw app u made just go in “Finder” search it an brag it over to trash and delete.

2. If you are getting [The Application "Claw" Can't Be Opened] at 4:14 this is normal thing that happens just try to open the program again it will open then.

3. You game is not opening the game with the desktop shortcut at 5:58. The reason is this shortcut the installer for claw give as an option is a windows version of the desktop shortcut for the claw.exe so that version will never launch right if you try to launch it only the wineskin claw app you made is where you can launch it from. If you would like to copy the claw app just copy it over from the “Finder” to the desktop. Also if you were gonna make a copy of the claw app just do it at the very end.

4.If you typed the registration code wrong at 8:26 the game will not launch right or may even launch the demo version of the game. You would know it the demo because the game last only 60mins and it run at different speed then the version I played in the video.

5. If the demo version of claw is started and Captain Nathaniel Joseph Claw is running an jumping faster than normal watch this video on the fix. https://youtu.be/8MrVVaWTk9w Not sure how this happen or if its a glitch but I've made a short video on it and how to fix it. 

Original raw video of Failed tutorial because game glitched gave demo version of claw : https://youtu.be/Pglrj9Zdz74?t=8m9s  Zoomed in image that the code was typed right: http://imgur.com/a/YGyVK this game is and old game and could have this problem so just follow the same steps over to reinstall and this problem should be fixed just fine.(FYI you can't copy and paste it in the code it doesn't let u)

6.If none of these’s help at all to getting your game to launch as a last resort then you may have to use that different download of claw that I talk about in the start at 0:47 of the video. The download is the first one “Claw v1.4.3 ‘CrazyHook’ on http://www.kapitanpazur.piasta.pl/en/downloads.html follow the same steps that I took in the video with the Claw CD RIP with this download and everything should work fine.

7.For the ones who get a error code here's another download u could try to get the game running that seem to be a fix if nothing else helps http://www.mediafire.com/file/mt8l1zdu793o8lu/Capitan+Claw%E2%84%A22+-++Its+about+time+v1.40.99.9.rar
