Q: What is it?
A: Sub Culture is an open world exploration and trading game set in the shallow underwater world of tide pools where a tiny humanoid race has built an undersea civilization to hide from us full sized humans. You pilot a submersible between underwater cities, trading various resources at fluctuating prices, salvaging items dropped from the surface world, and doing missions for the two main factions; the Bohine and the Procha, with their opinions of you changing accordingly. This guide, if followed precisely, will leave you with the most complete, patched, visually upgraded version of the game possible.

STEP 1: From the link provided at the bottom of this paragraph, download the ISO version. NOT the "rip". The ISO has all the FMVs and wonderful music/voice intact. For this kind of game that's half the charm. (IMPORTANT: The MDF is encrypted, but when you unrar you’ll discover there’s a unecm.bat file for decrypting it. If you don’t do this before burning/mounting, the image/disc will be unreadable.) note that the uncut english version is insanely rare and found only here: http://www.old-games.ru/game/download/579.html

STEP 2: download the patch, which fixes a few annoying bugs. The download for that is on the same page as the full ISO.

STEP 3: During installation, select the 3DFX version, and a full 200mb install. Once it's installed, put the patch (SCPATCH.EXE) into the game folder and run it.

STEP 4: Install nGlide. This is a wrapper that will let you run the 3D accelerated version of the game on modern hardware.

STEP 5: Install the Real Texture Pack 2.0. It can be found here: http://www.ccalonnec.fr/?q=node/10
Once you have it, look for the folder inside your main Sub Culture folder titled “GAMETEX”. Extract the contents of the rar into that folder, after backing up the contents somewhere else in case something fucks up.
