Issues fixed

Game crashes due to missing codecs

The game may crash on Windows Vista and later because it can't decode the movies properly due to missing codecs. This issue manifests itself as sudden exiting after seeing the menu loading screen.
This can be fixed by either using a dummy mpeg.dll or removing the video files.
Install dummy mpeg.dll[1]

Slow performance on Windows 10

Use dgVoodoo2

Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/864450/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (864450) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
