- Potentially related to switching top-level windows. Restarting the game seems to fix the issue.
Issues fixed
Fails to start on Windows 8.1 and earlier
- The game requires a form of DRM, known as SafeDisc implemented in secdrv.sys. Unfortunately, it is a gaping security flaw, and evidently couldn't be fixed without being removed. Microsoft disabled it in Windows 7 and removed it in Windows 10. The following has been tested in Windows 7 to work.
