Issues unresolved
Intro video not being rendered
- When starting the game the intro video plays, but only sound can be heard, the video itself is not rendered.[1]
- The video file
opening.avi
is located at<path-to-game>\video\
and can be viewed using a media player program.
- Some transitions between menu screens are very slow and sometimes it can take several seconds for the menus to respond to input.[1]
Issues fixed
System RAM and swap disc space warning
- When launching the game two warning messages are displayed in-game about 0.0MB of system RAM and free swap disc space. These can be ignored or the game can be run in Windows 98 compatibility mode to avoid these messages from appearing.
