- The HUD does not scale to match the resolution so may be too small at higher resolutions.
- The game supports windowed mode only through enabling Debug mode and using DgVoodoo2 to support modern systems. Windowed mode can also be achieved with DxWnd but up to version 2.04.74
Enable Debug mode and use DgVoodoo[3]
