Just started playing Cry of Fear, any tips y'all guys can give?

For people experiencing crashes on Windows 11 here's a post I put on the subreddit with a solution. https://www.reddit.com/r/CryOfFear/s/eu9q4AgGaE

Please place all co-op requests in this thread so we can clean up this forum section. Thanks.

i need help i played cry off fear for 22 hours and for some reason it started to lag like a lot rn and i cant play it in that state please someone help

It's a real shame. I was never able to complete the game back when it was still compatible with Windows, and now it looks like I never will. I tried compatibility fixes and a x64 system patch, and nothing worked. Seems like it's officially abandonware now which is a real shame. Edit: without any further information on getting the game working, "it works" doesn't tell me anything nor is it helpful....
