Issues unresolved
Xana speaks German in a Russian version of the game
This is not a bug, but a mistake made by one of the people responsible for upgrading the game - voice files for Xena in Russian folder are indeed German.[2].
Issues fixed
- TweakGuides has created a comprehensive guide for fixing issues in this game. It can be found here.
Black Screen on startup

Graphical issues
Re-install all drivers, if this does not work re-install the game, reformatting or playing on a different computer has been known to fix these issues. A possible last resort: buy a new graphics card, the Nvidia 6xxx series and lower video cards have been know to not work well with the game, lower tier Nvidia 7xxx, 8xxx and 9xxx series GPUs do not work well with the game. Cards that do work are the 7800 and 7900 7 series cards. the following are 8 series cards that run the game well; the 8800gt, gts, gtx and Ultra variants. the following 9 series cards will run the game fine the 9800GT, GTX, GTX+ and GX2 variants.
Audio: Most issues have been taken care of as of the latest patches, which the steam version will deliver automatically. View patches for information on updating manually.
Gameplay: all bugs can be fixed by starting from last save (before entering the area where you are having trouble), restarting the level or restarting the game.
Autoexec.cfg Does Not Automatically Execute
When playing the singleplayer portion of the game, the game itself does not automatically execute the autoexe.cfg file (a file that holds console commands), but it does for the multiplayer part.
