Hi, I saw this forum while I was searching for help because my boxed copy of Mafia doesn't seem to work at all no matter what I do.
I have no idea why, but whether I run it as administrator with or without the compatibility options or turn off fullscreen mode in the setup file, I just can't seem to get it to work! Whenever I run game.exe, it does nothing. It doesn't open at all. All I get is a little loading wheel above my cursor and then a notification that asks me if the program worked, which it didn't. I'm trying to run this game on Windows 10 and I'm very bummed that I can't play it because I just bought it!
Any help at all would be appreciated! Thanks! |

Thanks for the response.
So I installed this crack after not being able to find a working download anywhere else: Game Fix/ Crack I got the .zip file on WinRaR which contained the new game.exe and something called RDT.nfo. Anyway, I replaced the old game.exe with the one from the file, started the game when all of a sudden it tells me that game.exe is not found. I did it again and again, but the game.exe just kept disappearing whenever I tried to start it..
I'm new to this so I'm not sure what's going on.
Edit: I found another from a Mafia Hungary website and it does the same thing. It's like the replacement game.exe file is appearing and disappearing. Whenever I try to place it back into the Mafia directory, sometimes it works and sometimes it tells me that the file is not there anymore... |

You mean the Fullscene Anti-aliasing in the setup file? I've always had that off and it still will not work. |

When you say 'it says the file is not there anymore', are you referring to the crack .exe? And what is the error you get that lets you know you know this? _________________

Sorry for the late reply:
Yes, I am referring to the crack itself. The error it gives me is just: "Windows cannot find C;\Program Files\Mafia\game.exe" whenever I try to start the game using the crack. It gives me this error message no matter which crack I used. |

Have you tried right clicking the game.exe on your
desktop and under the tab "shortcut" clicking on
"open file location" does starting the game from
within the installation folder work.
Can you find the game location within the registry?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Illusion Softworks\Mafia
Mind you if you have the steam version for some
reason the system will say that Mafia is not installed.
If you have a legit PC retail version then there should
be no problem with running the game. _________________
