Steam |
- The DRM on the Steam version is sort of weird. The outer DRM on the executable is Steam DRM, and the inner DRM is an odd hand-written-assembly wrapper with a disabled disc check. In any case, the actual game EXE is not encrypted and can be extracted and run without Steam.[citation needed]

- Even though there are registry entries to change Anti-Aliasing, they do not do anything.
Widescreen resolution
- Using a non 4:3 resolution will cause stretching.
- Widescreen resolutions cannot be set in-game. You must do it through the Registry.

Issues unresolved
Sound replay on hitch
- If the game hitches, the audio engine will periodically replay a small portion of sound for about a second. The problem disappears after a level change or reloading a savegame.
Issues fixed
Game crashes due to missing codecs
- The game may crash on Windows Vista and later because it can't decode the movies properly due to missing codecs. This issue manifests itself as sudden exiting after seeing the menu loading screen.
- This can be fixed by either using a dummy
mpeg.dll
or removing the video files.
Install dummy mpeg.dll [3]
