Issues unresolved

Main menu frame rate

The main menu (and anything associated with that area) has a generally poor frame rate. It is most likely caused by the display of the menu or overlay.

Issues fixed

Windows Vista compatibility

Known issues include startup crash, a black cover over what should be visible, and in-game crashes. The following steps fix most of these problems.

Instructions

Crashes etc.

Copy unofficial patch "GIM_v1.05" (latest version, download), and run game through DKII-DX.exe (set compatibility to windows 2000[citation needed]).

Map editor installation

The instructions for installing the map editor are incorrect.
