Key points
- The game requires DirectX 6.1 to run and it won't run on newer versions. Patch 1.3 updates the game to run on DirectX 8, but the game still won't run in Windows 7. The GOG.com and Steam versions have been modified to work on modern OS including Windows 7.
- Some players have reported game breaking bugs that may occur during playthrough. These bugs usually affect doors which don't open when they're supposed to and the player gets stuck. If such problem occurs it can be worked around by using the "no clip" cheat. These bugs have mostly been reported when using the Direct3D rendering method.
- The game will not launch on Windows 10 in D3D mode. Update: 3dfx mode works on Windows 10

Impossible to select leftmost angelic powers with the mouse pointer
- Occurs when running the game with D3DWindower.
- The game allows to bring up a menu where angelic powers can be selected with the mouse pointer. D3DWindower will break immediately when mouse pointer is brought up by the game and the window will most likely lose the focus when a click is performed. This occurs when mouse pointer is positioned at the left part of the screen. This makes certain angelic powers unselectable through mouse pointer.
