That's it. That's all you need. Graphics driver settings, a wrapper or Dxwnd, doesn't matter. Needs synced.

Stuck Save Glitch How-To

It's pretty self-explanatory from the [current WR] of the game, but to sum it up, the Stuck Save glitch exploits the games fail safe procedure of preventing the player from reloading a "broken" quicksave where they can't seem to move, by reloading all the properties of that quicksave besides their current position upon pressing quickload.

Practically any scenario in which, upon uncrouching, you are deemed stuck by the game is considered a good stuck scenario. Another good candidate is getting trapped within a sliding door object. In "strong" scenarios, almost nothing will "break" the Stuck Save (revert you back to the proper position of the save) unless you are moving in a position that allows movement in the save.

However, sometimes you may have a "weak" scenario, where the Stuck Save corrects itself, because either the game thinks that location will no longer trap the player depending on their current position (crouched vs. uncrouched) or movement angle/speed, or it thinks the situation it will reset the players position to ALSO counts as a stuck state (though it is laughably inconsistent with this latter thing and sometimes you just get trapped inside patrolling enemies or doors/doorframes).

Pretty much anytime you're setting up a Stuck Save in the game, you'll want to crouch, walk into position, and uncrouch, and quickly test moving in all directions. Any allowed direction movement will compromise the glitch or lead to a "weak" scenario. Being pushed OOB or falling OOB also puts you in a stuck state, but the latter can be difficult to produce quicksaves for as obviously you'll need to load up a hard save to get back inbounds. 

Sometimes when falling OOB, the game will just ignore updating the players position back inbounds. A reload from the autosave will always load back inbounds to the last autosave point (which can predate or proceed the last QS point). Hard reset of a level and reloading your stuck save resets the player back to the starting point of the level with all QS state status intact (collected items, dead/alerted enemies, etc.).

Anyways hope that explains everything. Also, obviously, quicksave status predates any items you may have gotten post-QS, so much of the game route relies on knowing of optimal Stuck Save spots.
