Emperor Zurg Bug
- With modern hardware, on level 12 the boss fight with Zurg is almost impossible. He will always be too far away, making it near-impossible to hit him with a spin attack.[4]
Cap frame rate to 30 FPS.[5] |

Notes

Black screen on startup/only FMVs audio plays
Use dgVoodoo (recommended with Toy Story 2 Fix) |

"Toy Story 2 is not correctly installed, please re-install" error
Run toy2.exe as an admin.

"Please ensure your Toy Story 2 CD is in the specified drive." error
- The game remembers the last drive letter its disc or disc image was accessed from. Trying to load them from a different drive letter would cause that error.
Change the drive letter in Windows Registry |
