Issues unresolved
"There are too much handlers"
When playing the campagin following "liberation", an error window appears (titled "FMManager Error") with the message "There are too much handlers: 1237240". Workaround : cheat code (press Enter) "walkover".[6] Note: It occurs also with the latest latest patch and even with 8 GB RAM.[citation needed]
Desktop resolution switching to 1280x1024
The game starts but sets a wrong refresh rate (not 60 Hz) and changes the Desktop resolution.
If using Linux, running winecfg
to force the display to a 'Emulate a Virtual desktop' (example 1024x768) might help.[citation needed]
