  • First one includes the tutorial missions and unfinished campaign Mission 6; available here.
  • Second one is just an update of the first demo; available here.
  • Third one includes the tutorial missions and first three campaign missions; (dead link).
    • This one has the CD music volume issue like the full game (even though there is no CD music), so it should be run in Windows XP compatibility mode.

Essential improvements

Patches

Latest patch is version 1.1 and can be downloaded here.

dgVoodoo 2

Can be used to force vsync, AA, AF and higher resolution if the text is too small.

Issues unresolved

Sound turning on/off during gameplay

Because of the changes in the way Windows handles audio mixing after Windows XP, all sound in-game will have the same volume as the CD music on Windows Vista and later, so when the game lowers CD music volume it also affects other sounds.
Use Windows XP compatibility mode[1]
  1. Right-click the game executable or shortcut and select Properties.
  2. Click Compatibility and turn on Run this program in compatibility mode for.
  3. Select Windows XP (Service Pack 3).
  4. Click OK.

Notes

This will make the CD music play at maximum volume constantly, but will not affect other sounds.
CD music can sometimes stop looping or get stuck.

Tutorial crash

At the end of the last tutorial mission, when it should go back to main menu, the game crashes.[1]

Issues fixed

Flickering textures

Textures may start to flicker when the game runs above 60 FPS on some systems.
Instructions[1]
  • Limit the framerate to 60 FPS using the GPU control panel or RivaTuner Statistics Server.
  • Alternatively force Vsync if using a 60 Hz monitor.
