Issues fixed

Install the game in Direct3D mode

By default, the game does not let you select the Direct3D mode to install on modern operating systems claiming that a different Windows NT system is missing.

Use Windows 98/ME compatibility mode^[3]
Enable the following compatibility settings for `Setup.exe`: `Windows 98/ME`. Run setup.exe and in the installation method select "DirectX Full Installation". In the software testing option, uncheck the Microsoft DirectX option, otherwise the installation will fail when trying to install DirectX. Click install and proceed with the installation normally.

Stuck in Ubisoft Logo Loading (Direct3D mode)

Use dgVoodoo2.

Ramdom Crashes (Direct3D/Glide mode)

Don't run the game from the run shortcut directly from the executable it's installed from.

Game runs too fast (Direct3D mode)

Set refresh rate on 60Hz.

Game crashes on Alt+Tab

Use dgVoodoo2.
