So I've spent just about all day trying to figure this out. I've followed the guides both on youtube and in the threads here. I've successfully gotten the game going. However, it only works through Alpharomdie.exe. If I double click the omerta_M icon itself, this prompt pops up, and I'm re-directed to some software support site (btw, I'm using Windows 10):

I can only assume it's because the patch doesn't work as it should. But I've followed these instructions given by snowgoose from top to bottom:
1. Clean install Omerta. Note the time. Run once until error appears.
2. Run a search in your C: for an Alphadisclog.txt. Find the one that's created right when you installed Omerta.
3. Wherever the file is, copy it to My Documents\SETTEC. Rename older files if necessary.
4. Copy alsignup tool to Omerta directory. Run once.
5. Go to ProgramData\Asign (ProgramData is a hidden directory), sort on date, and rename the newest .sig to alsign.sig
6. Run alsignup tool for Omerta again
7. Cut and paste the alsign.sig to Omerta directory
8. Run the game.
When I double clik the alsignup_100723b.exe (the patch) after I moved it to the game directory, I get the correct pop-up, and a new .sig is made in the ProgramData folder in the C: disc. But even after I've moved the .sig file to the game directory, I'm still re-directed to the software support site after the prompt, which starts with [1511]... I'm trying to get the game working with VNR to play the game translated in english, but so far I've found no way to combine Alpharomdie and VNR to work together. If someone knows a way to either combine the two or installing the game properly, I'd really really appreciate it Right now my game directory looks like this if it's helpful...:
