Issues unresolved
Leda Prime 2 Coralos doesn't show the CRAB cyborg picture[1]
- A minor bug, which was most likely forgotten considering how old the game is and yet this bug still exists
Issues fixed
Game refuses to boot up on modern hardware
- The game will refuse to open when executed on modern Windows OSes, mainly 8, 8.1, and 10. The older version of Atomaders, specifically the GameHouse version (v1.11) does not require this fix to boot up.
Enable the following compatibility settings for the Atomaders.exe file: Compatibility mode (98/Me) .[2]

Game refuses to run properly on modern hardware, black screen bug after doing Alt+Tab[3]
- The game will lag both in-game and within the menus when opened on modern Windows OSes (mainly 8 and above), the game will also not show anything after doing Alt+Tab or pressing the Windows button then going back to the game, to resolve this, use the ddraw.dll of dgVoodoo or dxwrapper, preferably dgVoodoo due to not requiring any configuration, albeit the game will display a watermark on the bottom section of the screen.
SendBugReport.exe refuses to make a log file[4] |
