Issues unresolved

Sound turning on and 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.

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.
