Key points
- Modern systems need workarounds for some compatibility problems; see Installing on modern versions of Windows.
- Keyboard control is extremely twitchy due to the game being programmed for low framerates. Using the LEGO Island Rebuilder is recommended.

- An official release of the soundtrack was never made. A project to restore the soundtrack to 44.1 kHz stereo from the original composer's backup tapes (compared to the 11.025 kHz mono found in-game[1]) can be found on the Project Island website.
- The Italian release uses SecuROM DRM copy protection.[2]
- This game is not available digitally.
Essential improvements
LEGO Island Rebuilder
- Allows for frame rate capping, patching the notoriously-twitchy keyboard controls, and music replacement.
- Runs on hardware near-contemporaneous with the original release; see Frame rate (FPS)
- Works without administrator privileges.

If you are not logged in as administrator on your computer, the CONFIG.EXE of the game cannot write the initial keys to the registry. Therefore, start CONFIG.EXE as adminstrator before you run the "Rebuilder.exe":

Frame rate (FPS)
- The game locks its framerate 90 FPS when exploring the world and either 30 or 90 FPS in certain indoor environments.
- Since the game was never intended to run this fast (it was designed with 10 FPS in mind), many timer issues also arise as a result; for example, turning is very sensitive and many of the animations run too fast. A 30FPS cap is recommended, to prevent animations from running too fast.
