![]() IMPORTANT: This guide assumes that the setting "Hide extensions for known file types" in the Windows Explorer folder options is turned OFF. But the mutators will have to be recooked. This issue has been resolved in the latest patch. Otherwise there really is no reason to use 64-bit. The main reason for running the 64-bit version is because some mods require it (Tomoko's NyanGoat mod, for example, will cause a crash when running the 32-bit version). Before trying anything else, please switch back to 32-bit. ![]() There is no reason to run the game in 64-bit. It performs worse and is more likely to crash. ![]() That just makes the goat’s outlandish behavior feel even funnier – like he’s wrecking someone else’s game.The game does not gain anything from running in 64-bit. Surprisingly nice lighting and shadows aside, everything looks very plain and undetailed, as though the art was designed for a different game altogether (which is entirely possible). I love how much of the world is destructible, but it’s also a little disappointing that big stuff like buildings can’t be knocked down and certain scripted cars aren’t affected by your interactions. Exaggerated physics are used to great effect in most of these – it’s hilarious to kick over a dining room table and send everything flying (including the dinner guests), then have a random plate or piece of fruit fly out the window with enough force to cause a nearby car to explode. Still more interesting are the unannounced goals, like tipping a “Giant Death Boulder” positioned on a hill above a barbeque party, stumbling into the secret goat kingdom and gaining magical powers, or finding the awesome and completely uncontrollable jetpack. Plenty of collectibles are stashed around the map, and grabbing that stuff unlocks a few great alternate models. Mission goals are presented as optional achievements, which range from goofy little things like pushing the 1 key several times to hear all the different goat noises to seeing how long you can remain airborne, or high-score challenges that give an extra reason to run around like a goat in a china shop (as if we needed one). Or, even better, watching him immediately get hit by a car. There’s always something delightful about watching the goat collapse in a heap on impact, then magically shaking it off as though nothing happened. I tapped Q to enable the rag-doll physics and F to activate slow motion so I could enjoy the goofy flailing of my goat and his unwilling passenger to its fullest. It’s a sequence of weird and random events, like when I snagged a hapless bystander with my impossibly stretchy goat tongue, climbed a huge crane with my horrible ladder-climbing animation, then leaped from the top with my dangling captive in tow. There’s no story to explain why we’re a goat or what’s filled his heart with such murderous hatred, but the one that developed for me is an absurdist tale of an invincible creature terrorizing a rural community.
