Remapping
- Certain keys are unbindable when using the keyboard. The mouse buttons cannot be rebound, Delete cannot be bound to anything, and the default keys for vehicle/misc controls cannot be bound to on-foot controls unless they are unbound from vehicle/misc controls first. One consequence of this is that vehicle and on-foot controls must use separate buttons (i.e. if you walk with the arrow keys you cannot also drive with them) unless you use the default WASD keys.

Issues fixed
Game crashes when accessing settings on Windows 7
- In Windows 7 and earlier, attempting to access display settings (i.e. to change the resolution) causes the game to crash on video cards with more than approximately 1 GB of VRAM.[1]
Set Windows Vista compatibility mode[citation needed] |
---|
|
Game won't start on Windows 10
- Most modern desktop solutions (like Nvidia GeForce Experience) aren't compatible with the game.
Set Windows Vista, Windows 98 compatibility mode and disable fullscreen optimizations
|
---|
Can't access Display settings, therefore the game runs at lowest graphical settings
- The game uses three separate files for saved data: 'prefs.aitd' saves all control/audio/graphical settings, 'res.aitd' saves resolution settings, and 'save.aitd' for game progress. See Game data
