Issues unresolved

The game won't let me select OpenGL and DirectX mode

It occurs because the game does not correctly recognize modern video cards but it is still not a problem since it lets you select the software renderer and there if it works correctly

Graphic bug in Leda Calisto's apartment in Windows 10

It occurs due to a bad compatibility of Windows 10 with DirectDraw but luckily the bug does not affect the game at all, it is just a simple graphic error

Issues fixed

Direct player error on launch game

Install Quicktime^{[citation needed]}
It is recommended to install version 6.1 of quicktime found on the game CD3
