Minor
AquaNox
- Can't skip intros; unmpak can extract its PAK format but the images are timed TIFs, not actual video files, so probably not possible to disable without understanding of game's scripting
Anvil of Dawn
- Can't skip intros; videos are in DFA format which can be decoded but not encoded
Dungeons & Dragons: Dragonshard
- Can't skip intros; videos are in H2O archives which can only be modified with paid tools
Hover!
- Music only starts playing after Sound Options has been opened
Might and Magic IX
- Higher resolutions break the menus
Wing Commander: Privateer
- Forces controller calibration at launch if two controllers are connected
Major
Chessmaster 5500
- Sounds and voice features cause crashes if enabled; swapping
mss32.dll
from other games doesn't fix it.
Darkstone
- Major graphics issues on AMD drivers newer than Catalyst 13.1;
-sortbyz
parameter partially resolves this
Flight Unlimited II
- Crashes at launch on Windows 8 and later
Indiana Jones and his Desktop Adventures
- 16-bit game; swapping files with Yoda Stories didn't work.
Sea Dogs
- Windowed mode has corrupted UI
Tinker
- Level editor cannot detect the Games for Windows - LIVE version; I don't have Windows Vista Ultimate Extras to test.
