Issues fixed

Loading freezes on Windows 8 and later

Freezes on loading screens on Windows 8 and later. The workaround for this is running the game in windowed mode and setting the executable to run in Windows 98 compatibility mode so that it only uses a single CPU core.[citation needed] This workaround is reported to not be perfect, though, and may not work for all players.

Other information

Set AO with Nvidia Profile Inspector[2]
  1. Download and run Nvidia Profile Inspector.
  2. Add a profile for the game.
  3. Change Ambient Occlusion compatibility to 0x0000001F.
  4. Set Ambient Occlusion usage and Ambient Occlusion setting to desired setting
  5. Apply changes..

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/278080/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (278080) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
