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.

- 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.

Video settings
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. It is recommended to cap the FPS to at least 30, to prevent animations from running too fast.
