notes: "WARNING:\r\nThis overrides some of the changes provided by the Silent Patch,\
  \ as both replace the game's dinput.dll. Use only if your controller is not supported\
  \ on the base game installer.\r\n\r\nKnown issues:\r\n- Does not work with all Controllers.\
  \ Specifically Controllers that are not natively using XInput, such as the DualShock\
  \ 4 (which is supported by Silent Patch). Should work with most Controllers marketed\
  \ as PC or Xbox however.\r\n- As of August 2026, does not work on the Steam Deck\
  \ and makes the game unplayable when starting a race. Cause unknown. Steam Deck\
  \ is supported by Silent Patch.\r\n- Once installed, Keyboard input is unavailable\
  \ in races. This is a limitation of the game when a Controller is detected and Xidi\
  \ always presents a Controller to the game to enable hot-plug functionality for\
  \ games that don't natively support it.\r\n\r\nIf your Controller is not working\
  \ or you just want to revert to Keyboard input:\r\n1. Right-click the game -> Browse\
  \ files -> drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Electronic Arts/Need For Speed High Stakes\r\
  \n2. Delete dinput.dll, dinput8.dll, winmm.dll, Xidi.32.dll, Xidi.HookModule.32.dll,\
  \ and Xidi.ini\r\n3. Rename dinput.dll.bak to dinput.dll"
