Issues fixed
Misaligned crosshair
The crosshair on higher resolutions gets misaligned. Top image is at 640x480 (correct position), while the bottom image is at 1280x960 (misaligned).
- On higher resolutions, the crosshair is misaligned with the correct position, preventing accurate aiming. This bug can also break the missile lock-on ability.
- Peixoto's patch can force the game to run at the highest resolution available (but preserving the 4:3 aspect ratio) and the crosshair will be in the right place.
Start the game with Peixoto's patch[citation needed] |

DirectX vs. Glide renderers
DirectX (Direct3D)
- Best looking (all graphical options are available)
- Not as stable as Glide
Glide (using nGlide)
- Very stable
- Benefits from all nGlide enhancements (scale resolution up to 4K, proper gamma support, etc.)
- "Uglier" than DirectX (does not support True Colour Textures and Bump Mapping)
