Issues fixed

Installing on 64-bit systems

This game comes with a 16-bit InstallShield installer, which won't work on modern systems.
Use 32-bit installer[2]
  1. Download Is3Engine.zip from here.
  2. Copy the CD contents to a folder in any location.
  3. Extract setup32.exe from the downloaded Is3Engine.zip to the newly created folder.
  4. Run setup32.exe to install the game.

Keyboard and mouse don't work despite setting the controls

Instructions[2]
  1. Download dinput.zip from here.
  2. Extract dinput.dll to <path-to-game>.
  3. Add the following lines before the last two ones in <path-to-game>/AUTOEXEC.CFG:
enabledevice "##keyboard"
enabledevice "##mouse"
rangebind "##mouse" "##y-axis" 0.000000 0.000000 "Axis2" 
scale "##mouse" "##y-axis" 0.004625
rangebind "##mouse" "##x-axis" 0.000000 0.000000 "Axis1" 
scale "##mouse" "##x-axis" 0.004625

Mouse movement jittery/skipping pixels

Wrap the old DirectInput calls into DirectInput 8[3]
  1. Download the DirectInput wrapper.
  2. Extract dinput.dll from the downloaded dinput.zip to <path-to-game>.
  3. Add the line InputRate=60.00000 in <path-to-game>\AUTOEXEC.CFG and decrease the mouse sensitivity in-game.
  4. Increase sensitivity through the mouse's DPI on the mouse driver's control panel.

Framerate goes slightly below 60

Rename to or create the line "MaxFPS" "0" in <path-to-game>\AUTOEXEC.CFG and lock the framerate with a tool like RTSS[4]
