Help with Fallout tactics!

It Wandered In From the Wastes
I have a question about Fallout Tactics. When I click the desktop icon the menu that says install game, play game and so on comes up. I have to click play game to actually play the game. Why is this?

Is it normal? Is there a way I can make the game go directly to the game? Its pretty annoying since both Fallout 1 and 2 start up when I click the desktop icons. I tried restarting and it didnt help.
 
It's normal.

Create a shortcut to the BOS.exe file located in main Fallout Tactics directory.
 
^^

So what did the developers do? Release the game broken kind off or with a huge bug? I mean you would think they would have fixed it? I have played it and it seems like the people who made it didnt really care about Fallout at all. I guess thats why you end up with something so screwy as this. I means its an ok game, but Its not as good as I thought it would be.

Also sorry this is in the wrong section. mods can move to the Tactics help section. I sure they will.
 
Bug? Have you really never come across a launcher program before? At least half the pc games I've played since 1998 use a launcher. With FOT we're lucky it can be bypassed many games won't work if you try to run the game executable directly.
 
No I have not. I have never had a PC game do this my entire life. Im not used to it. I have played many old PC games, many made before 1998 and have never had a game startup in this manner. But at least I know its normal for this to happen.
 
Have you tried the No Cd Crack?

That's what I did, I have the Shortcut on my Desktop BOS.exe- Don't have to track down my Cds everytime I want to play. It's a lifesaver because mine barely installs now so stratched up. You can find a good NoCd Fix @ Megagames.com or @ Gamecopyworld
I use the one called SERENITY NoCd Fix works great.

Now it shouldn't pop up that stupid Menu.

Hope this was helpful. Remember to backup your Data always.
