Issues unresolved
Broken settings and save system
- Not all settings in the options menu are saved permanently, player has to change the controls and brightness each time the game is run.
- Save game doesn't save player status or inventory. Game will use the last in-game values when reloading the game.
Reduced game brightness
- At some points in levels the game brightness is greatly reduced for no apparent reason. Player can move away from those points then save and load the game to return the brightness to normal levels.
Corrupt sound
- When starting a new level sometimes the sound can get corrupt, probably because the sound effects from previous level were not turned off. Player should exit the game completely and run it again.
Issues fixed
Missing d3drm.dll
- Game doesn't start because
d3drm.dll
file is missing from the computer.
