Overview
If you have trouble after installing this game, you need to goto the _CommonRedist folder in the game install directory and then:1) go in the PhysX folder and then the 9.12.1031 folder and run / install PhysX-9.12.1031-SystemSoftware.msi2) go in the DirectX folder and then the Jun2010 folder and run / install DXSETUP.exe3) you may need to reboot, I cant remember.This should install the drivers and stuff the game needs to run that is missing.
The basic idea of what to do.
.
Where to find the files. Note: make a copy of the _CommonRedist folder contents first
You dont need to download anything. For this example, I am using windows 7 64 bit with the game installed in the default directory on c: drive which is a x86 or 32 bit.
This is what you do.
1) First off make a copy of the _CommonRedist folder contents first just to be safe. You can delete it if you want when you are done and the game runs.
I mention the actual file names in the first part of this guide but I dont see them now. They must of dissapeared after I ran them so make a copy first.
2) use :my computer” and open up the folder “C:Program Files(x86)SteamSteamAppscommonWoodcutter Simulator 2013_CommonRedistDirectXJun2010 and look for an .exe program. Run that. I believe the file is named “DXSETUP.exe” and it doesnt matter if you are 64 or 32 bit. It will know and install the correct files for you.
You may want to make a copy first as mine disapeared after I installed it. If you dont have an exe file, look in the “Jun2010 archieves and run the .exe or .exe’s you find. x86 is for 32 bit programs, x64 is for 64 bit programs
Since the game was installed in a x86 programs directory, I would try the x86 first. If you are 64 bit and the 32bit doesnt make the game run, try the x64 ones.
3) use :my computer” and open up the folder “C:Program Files (x86)SteamSteamAppscommonWoodcutter Simulator 2013_CommonRedistPhysX9.12.1031 and look for an .exe file and Run that. I believe the file is named “PhysX-9.12.1031-SystemSoftware.msi”.
You may want to make a copy first as mine disapeared after I installed it.
I would of put in the exact names of the files but I have already installed them and they are gone. If you cant find the files I mentioned, you may want to redownload the game and make a copy of the _CommonRedist folder befor you try installing them if the game still doesnt work.
This worked for me and if it works for you, can some one let me know the exact names of the files and I will update my guide to be more specific.
Thanks and I hope this helps
Getting started playing the game for the first time.
I was lost in the beginning when I first played this game. Standing their with a chainsaw in my hands but nothing to cut.
First thing you will need to do is click on the book in the lower left corner and accept a job to cut trees. If you need more help, watch this video
Also do a google search for Woodcutter Simulator 2013 keyboad commands so you can run and look forward if you get stuck looking backwards like what i did when i first tried playing the game.
You will want to move towards the green tree on nav map after taking a job. This will take a while. Look for the trees with the white horizontal cut lines. Those are the trees to cut.
Hope that helps and good luck
