In case some people still wonder how to get this game to run on modern systems I have written a short and easy to follow instructions on the following link back in 2014.

This is what I wrote back then...

"People wondering how to get Final Liberation working under 64 bit OS I have found a solution. I got it working with my Windows Ultimate 64 bit SP1.

1. First install the game on 32 bit OS. I did this using the built in XP Mode with Virtual PC.

2. Install the Official Patch 1.01 from this site: http://www.reocities.com/TimesSquare/Galaxy/6 … 77/flpatch.html
Don't install the international fix because then you won't be able to intall the unofficial patch!

3. Install the unofficial fl_highcolor_patch.zip from this site: http://bitpatch.com/gw.html

4. Copy the MUSIC and VIDEO folder from the CD and place inside the root directory of the game

5. Copy the the game folder and all it's contents from 32 bit OS to 64 bit OS. When you run the Epic40k.exe, the game complains that the game is not installed. Just hit ok and the game runs anyway! Also the last patch fixed the videos in that game so everything works smoothly. Enjoy!

However if the game crashes, black screen or error message, you can try to find a workaround by creating the epic.ini file yourself and disable the video. Here are the instructions for that procedure: Epic: Final Liberation, anyone got it to work in XP?

I have to note that I was very happy to find out that this game is possible to get running under 64 bit OS. Cheers!"

If you do everything inside quotes, videos should also work in the game. The only problem I found is that mouse scroll speed seems too high. If anybody knows how to make it slower, this game would work even better.

A least one link seems to be dead now so I have attached a file that contains all of the files. There is also european multiplayer fix patch included. I am not sure If I ever tried that one myself. I haven't ever played multiplayer with this game other than hot seat mode.
