Essential improvements
Patches
- The fan patch creates a Windows NT-compatible executable file called
ig2nt.exe
. This should be the target of any shortcuts.
Running on modern systems
This game runs well with dgVoodoo 2 in 1080p resolution with anti-aliasing. You must set these in dgVoodoo and leave the game's resolution on 1024x768. This method avoids the black video bug.
