Issues unresolved
Configuration utility crashes upon opening on modern operating systems
- The configuration utility crashes upon opening on modern operating systems due to a buffer overrun being detected. This prevents the user from being able to create the configuration file necessary for running the game and the only workaround is to either manually copy and edit an existing configuration file from a previous installation or run the game on an older operating system. Here is a sample configuration file you can use to run the game.
