Issues fixed
Poor performance in 640x480
The frame rate can be very low in 640x480 (SVGA) mode under certain versions and builds of DOSBox.
Replace DOSBox[3]
|
Use the official 0.74 version of DOSBox or recent SVN builds (rather than pre-0.74 versions or older SVN builds).
|
Crash at start of gameplay
Within seconds of starting a mission (if not immediately), the game crashes, often taking DOSBox with it.
Crash when entering buildings
When using doors to enter and exit buildings, the game often crashes.
Unresponsive main menu buttons
After left-clicking to dismiss the intro video, the main menu buttons may not work.
Right click[4]
|
Right click once anywhere on the screen. After that, left clicking on the menu buttons will work.
|
Dismiss intro with keyboard[4]
|
Use Space ␣ or ↵ Enter (rather than the mouse) to dismiss the intro.
