Issues fixed
Crashes during level load/save game and bonus unlocks do not save
- On Windows 10, the game can sometimes freeze and crash during level loading and more rarely when saving the game. Bonus unlocks after fully clearing a level also do not persist after a game restart without this fix.
Set Compatibility Mode to "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" |
---|
|
Game runs too fast/audio ends early during cutscenes
- Game logic is tied to the framerate and values higher than 25 cause the game to run too fast and cutscene audio to end before dialogue is completed.
Cap the framerate to 25 with dgVoodoo 2 |
