create a shortcut and click on inspect properties
then in the target: type "patchme" at the end but make sure you put a space
start the game by running it on administrator from the shortcut you made
it might crash a few times when you first start it up but it's natural
most people think its easier to just use

but still do the "patchme" part
hope this helps
