Issues fixed
Unable to install the game from the disc
- The installer on the disc does not work on modern Windows OSses, due to it being designed for older OS versions.
Change the installer compatibility mode to an older version of Windows |
---|
|
Audio pops during cutscenes on newer Windows OS
- The game's cutscenes rely on an old DirectSound DLL file for proper sound playback from the CD. When installed on newer OSses like Windows 10, the game will use the latest version of the DLL, which causes the issue.
Use an old version of DirectSound |
---|
|
Lower resolution and lack of support for higher resolution monitors
- The game being quite old, was never properly designed to be scaled for higher resolution monitors of today. Some elements scale up quite poorly and the overall presentation looks quite bad.
Use dgVoodoo2 and Glide renderer in-game |
---|
|
No music in-game
- The game uses CDDA audio to stream music as you play the game with the CD inserted, and modern Windows versions do not support this properly.
There are two methods to fix this |
---|
Method 1
Method 2
|
Issues unresolved
EAX is not available in newer Windows versions after Vista
- There's a fix that enables 3D sound, but it breaks the audio in cutscenes completely.
Use Creative ALchemy on any sound card other than Creative ones |
---|
|
Music in the ingame levels does not repeat after playing once
There's currently no way to fix this and the issue seems to occur only on modern Windows versions, like 10. |
