Lets go, I have officially downloaded it. the latest alternate watch doesn't work no matter what you do, however the old one works completely fine. my guess is to why the newer one doesn't work is because my CPU cant run it. I hope this helps you.
So, the main problem is that your drivers might be outdated. Based on your graphics card, e.g. Intel, Nvidia, AMD, you should download the corresponding drivers update. If you do not know how, just look it up on YouTube, and again, specify your graphics brand. I hope this helps! :)
I think 1-3 for "vague" then 4 for "evident" then 5 for "too many anomalies and then if it gets to 6 you fail. buts that's just what I think from playing the older version a bit
Hi! hope you guys are having a good day! im playing the game, but after every game it forces me to exit then to start the application up again- its lowkey annoying lol does anyone know whats up?
No, but now I'm concerned. I waited like 6 hours for it to finish downloading. (It's still downloading as of now. 71% downloaded.) I really want to play this game. I've seen multiple videos and I just really want to play it myself! Is it happening every time you play or just at some times?
imagine you are in a security office similar to fnaf, and you have to watch cams in the house or another location where there would be a security office,
you have to find and report anomalies but the entities would appear in you office as well,
if they are not reported and are in your office for too long, jump scare.
This sounds like a fnaf offbrand but alternate watch it so good, the whole style is so scary even without jump scares if that makes sense. I would buy this instantly.
overall Alternate Watch is a 10/10 game, different from what I have seen.
I try to run it, but it gives me an error: "The following components are required to run this program: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime." Although I already have it...
Try to open AlternateWatch/Binaries/Win64/AlternateWatch-Win64-Shipping.exe instead. I had the same problem before I found this way, even though I'm running this game on linux.
for those of you with the direct x update, after doing some research you need to update your drivers. Simply update by following these steps.
Windows key + I -> Update & security -> Windows Update -> Check for updates.
IF your drivers are up to date, I'm sorry.. Your driver is so prehistoric that the most recent update for them is OUTDATED which means that you probably need a new computer :(
Sadly I'm having this issue too because my laptop is about 8-10 years old from what I know.. I got it for free so I'm clueless.
My request to the creator is to make a port for DirectX12 because that is the one my laptop runs so im assuming its the older more common type
Amazing game, incredibly well done, I liked this more than I'm on Observation Duty, although I haven't played it, only watched it... Mainly because I love the Mandela Catalogue, very creepy... Had very few problems in identifying anomalies (First few rounds were rough but I got the hang of it.) The "Bad Decision Mark" is a very good touch, I immediately knew where to look for it having watched the Mandela Catalogue, can't wait to see what you do next!
I tried getting this game, I did everything the tutorial told me to do then I got a thing saying I needed to get DirectX Runanytime (smth like that). I downloaded that and it still wont work. I have a HP commuter but it should work since I got it downloaded. If anyone knows what to do please help I'm getting frustrated. I have been trying ever since it came out.
When i click the download botton it's just showing the pop up "thanks for downloading" but it's doesn't start the download. I also don't have a pop up blocker. Anyone know how to fix this?
This game was SO FUN I could not stop playing until I finished it, and the story was so cool. The jump scares with multiple figure anomalies were very scary.
For who can't run AlternateWatch.exe at wine/proton in Linux, just open AlternateWatch/Binaries/Win64/AlternateWatch-Win64-Shipping.exe instead. It's working very fine on my local after I found this way.
go to this link https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/ and in the bottom of the page you'll see an option to install Microsoft visual C++ 2022 click and install it, it worked for me, you probably have an older version of the program like i did hope it helps :)

I can't download the game. none of the links worked.
Fun game
hey! how do u play it? im new here :)
I love the game but could you tell us how many anomolies it takes to change the threat level to "evident" and to "too many anomolies". Thank you
i think at least 5.. but im not sure :)
I think 1-3 for "vague" then 4 for "evident" then 5 for "too many anomalies and then if it gets to 6 you fail. buts that's just what I think from playing the older version a bit
i got my first alternates and they were creepy. i played it on my channel! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5xHTYX6xoxJOG4nPQgv_gw
I want to offer the Chinese translation, can I?

it heppnes everytime, but it just exists out of the window and all you have to do is just press it to open it again..
What I did was download it in a brand new folder and it worked for me!
ill try that thans
If you need to extract it, use 7zip and hit "Extract files." Don't use the main computer's extracting method.
Hello, i get an error when clicking in AlternateWatch.exe, it happens in all 3 downloads
I got the same issue
Oh no. Please don't tell me I've been waiting 6 hours for it to download for nothing!
I get "Fatal Error" on the latest version when I attempt to open it, but on the old version it's fine for me.
why is it saying that i need microsoft visual C++ to run it, do i need the latest version of C+
I know its a big ask, but is it possible to make this compatible with mac?
add this game to google play pls
why would they do that?
Please add this cool ass game to iPad os, it would be the perfect setup.
It would be so cool if there was a VR version,
imagine you are in a security office similar to fnaf, and you have to watch cams in the house or another location where there would be a security office,
you have to find and report anomalies but the entities would appear in you office as well,
if they are not reported and are in your office for too long, jump scare.

overall Alternate Watch is a 10/10 game, different from what I have seen.
Yo that would be so cool and scarier! However I don't know if they're going to continue working on this. Hopefully they do though!
Мое тунельное зрение, и моя память как у рыбки сделало свое дело)))
When i click the application It says this app cant run on your pc. Is there anything i can do or no?
Oh no I really hope I haven't been waiting 6 hours for this to finish downloading for nothing!

you dont need direct x runanytime
also you need windows 11
extract the file
from its zip then click on the application then press extract to downloads then you go into the extracted folder then go onto it
when i try to open it it says that directx runtime is required. How would i obtain that or fix it?

For who can't run AlternateWatch.exe at wine/proton in Linux, just open AlternateWatch/Binaries/Win64/AlternateWatch-Win64-Shipping.exe instead. It's working very fine on my local after I found this way.
I tried that and nothing happened. also, what do you mean wine/proton? I'm an ubuntu user and I just wanted to get this game to work.
Don't you know wine? How do you run windows softwares in Linux usually?
I'm using bottles to run a wine.
dose this game work on windows 7?
I have windows 7 and i haven't got it to work.
you need windows 10 it says it in the bio
just played it for the first time and i'm excited to discover everything and play some more!i played it on my channel! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5xHTYX6xoxJOG4nPQgv_gw
for me it shows "The following component(s) are required to run this program: Microsoft visual C++ Runtime DirectX Runtime. What does it mean?
go to this link https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/ and in the bottom of the page you'll see an option to install Microsoft visual C++ 2022 click and install it, it worked for me, you probably have an older version of the program like i did hope it helps :)
