Getting started

Requirements

1.) Game is installed

2.) PhysX is installed

3.) SecuROM's offline installer package is installed

4.) Optional: XDead is installed (no phone number for a Microsoft account needed!)

Installation

1.) Download unstable release .

2.) Extract the files to the same folder as GridGame.exe. The default location is:

c:\Program Files (x86)\Disney Interactive Studios\Tron Evolution\Binaries\Win32Live

3.) Launch the game with the replaced GridGameLauncher.exe

4.) Toggle TEM's UI with NumPad 0 key

XDead (optional)

TEM works in combination with XDead which replaces Games for Windows Live (GFWL) aka XLive. This is the quickest and easiest way to get past GFWL installation and authentication. This means that no Microsoft account is needed but it will obviously also disable the multiplayer game mode but maybe TEM can emulate that in the future.

  • Download the latest .zip file on the releases page
  • Extract xlive.dll and put it into the installation path
    • c:\Program Files (x86)\Disney Interactive Studios\Tron Evolution\Binaries\Win32Live

Activate Game

Download and install SecuROM's offline installer package. It includes the full GridGame.exe game without encryption so TEM can easily bypass the rest.

Warning

unlocker.exe is OBSOLETE!

TEM came with an unlocker tool that only generates a activation code which is supposed to be copied and entered. It does not modify anything. The tool is now removed because a custom GridGameLauncher.exe is now shipped. However, the code will always be available.

Linux

Because of XDead we can easily get the game to run under Linux with Wine.

  • Make sure to use 32-bit version of Wine with WINEARCH=win32 (only required for the first time or use WINEPREFIX to select a specific folder.)
  • Install dinput8 and physx with Winetricks.
  • Use wine regedit to set the required registry values:
    • Create keys for following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Disney Interactive Studios\tr2npc
    • Add InstallPath as REG_SZ with value c:\Program Files (x86)\Disney Interactive Studios\Tron Evolution\Binaries\Win32Live or any valid existing game path
    • Add Language as REG_SZ with value EN other any other supported language:
      • DE, FR, ES, IT, JP, RU, PL, NL, CZ
  • Use WINEDEBUG=-all to disable default logging for more performance
  • Use WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n" to be able to load TEM. By default Wine loads its own dinput8.dll version which we only want to load later.
# Install requirements
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine32 WINEARCH=win32 winetricks -q physx dinput8

# Add registry values
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine32 WINEARCH=win32 wine regedit

# Launch TEM's GridGameLauncher.exe
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine32 WINEARCH=win32 WINEDEBUG=-all WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n" wine GridGameLauncher.exe

Make sure InstallPath registry value is pointing to a valid installation path. Here is an example on how to choose a symlink to an existing game folder:

# Example assumes /mnt/win11/ exists (e.g. dual-boot drive)
# Can be anything but installPath just has to match with correct drive letter.
# In wine the default drive is $WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/c:
ln -s /mnt/win11/ $HOME/.wine32/dosdevices/y:

# Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Disney Interactive Studios\tr2npc
# Add InstallPath value "y:\Program Files (x86)\Disney Interactive Studios\Tron Evolution\Binaries\Win32Live"
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine32 WINEARCH=win32 wine regedit

# Launch TEM's GridGameLauncher.exe
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine32 WINEARCH=win32 WINEDEBUG=-all WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n" wine GridGameLauncher.exe
