Improves performance
DirectDraw emulation is broken in Windows 8 and later

  1. Download the experimental version of the DirectDrawCompat wrapper
  2. Extract the contents from the .zip file into the game's installation folder <path-to-game>

Notes

Alternatively, a normal DirectX wrapper can be used for the same effect.

Alternative workaround for low FPS

There are three ways of fixing the problem:

  • Use the DirectDraw/DirectX wrapper method mentioned above previously.
  • Disable hardware acceleration if fullscreen is on.
  • Play the game in a window. Hardware acceleration works fine while the game is windowed.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/3300/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (3300) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
  2. When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
