My Game Icons Are Missing

Why aren't there any icons on my PC desktop?

During the setup process of the Game Manager (the application that loads and saves your games) you can select the option to save game icons to your desktop. If this option was not selected during setup, these icons won’t appear.

There's a couple ways to help resolve this.

Method 1:

1. From the Windows Start menu, select Computer
2. Select Windows (C:)
3. Open Program Files
4. Open the game directory
5. Right click LaunchGame.bfg and select Create Shortcut
6. Right click on the newly created shortcut and select Rename
7. Change the name of the file to the name of the game
8. Drag and drop the shortcut to your Desktop

You should now have a shortcut on your Desktop!

Method 2:

In order to save game icons to your desktop, uninstall and reinstall the Game Manager. While reinstalling the Game Manager, you will eventually be prompted with the option to show Shortcut Icons. Make sure the two boxes below the Shortcut Icons heading are checked as shown in the following image:
