Issues fixed
Graphics/colors problem
- Depending of your video card you could have some graphical problem ingame. A graphic wrapper can fix this problem. The wrapper can also improved the graphics of the game by forcing a superior resolution, AA that is not possible though ini.
Use dgVoodoo[citation needed] |

|
Can't Select Eax or Surround sound After Surround sound Restoration
- By default the
DSOUND.dll
of the creative alchemy and other sound wrapper is ignored by the game. So no surround sound or EAX can be selected.
- Download the Dsound fix
- replace the mss32.dll file of the game by the one in the zip
- Creative alchemy and any other ds3d wrapper should now be working as intended.
- Surround sound should be working and you can now activate EAX if want.
Game crash when closing the medal case
- This game crashes when you want to close the medal case on modern windows OS, a patch exists to fix this problem.
- This fix also forces the game to run on one core, so no need to use the imagecfg after that.
Use unofficial patch[citation needed] |
