* ForceWDM=0 & ForceDirectXSink=0 (These are only necessary if your computer will not start the game otherwise)

 +
* MaxOutputBufferSize=<256 (This can be any multiple of 8. Lower by increments of 8 until audio starts to crackle or skip. Reasonable performance can be had around 136 - 192. Values of 128 or lower are possible on computers with very fast CPUs.)
