--=INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS=-1. Install the game by clicking on the "setup" icon.

--=IMPORTANT NOTE!=-- (Windows 7 and Windows 8 only)
You need to INSTALL and RUN the game in Windows XP Compatibility Mode and with A
dministrator rights if you are using Windows 7 or Windows 8.

Press and hold the Windows button + R or go to Start > Run... > and type in RegE
dit
Go to HK_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Surreal > Riot Engine and delete SettingsDX1
05
Once you do that, run The Suffering again and the box that pops up when you firs
t run it that asks you to config will come up. Reconfig your video however you h
ad it. Then under the audio tab, uncheck the box next to Use 3D Sound Buffers. T
hat's what worked for me.
If that doesn't work for you, you can try to configure it differently.
