Issues fixed
STEAM ERROR: "Unable to load Steam.dll"
An issue that occurs to some players when playing via Steam. Simply copy and paste the Steam.dll file from Steam's main directory into the game's root directory.[2]
Low FPS
There are two ways of fixing the problem[citation needed]:
- Disable hardware acceleration if fullscreen is on.
- Play the game in a window. Hardware acceleration works fine while the game is windowed.
3D Acceleration not supported error on modern versions of Windows
The game complains about "Not enough video memory". This can be bypassed by patching the executable.
Patch Zuma.exe manually (Experimental) |
