Essential improvements
Problems on modern systems
As the included opengl32.dll is a 3dfx-specific MiniGL wrapper, it should be deleted on systems not using 3dfx cards.
OpenGL extension string issue
This is one of the few games that have problems with long OpenGL extension strings. Regarding Nvidia, older drivers had the option to toggle extension string limit, but current drivers omit this option and instead have all problematic games hardcoded to limit the string. Therefore, the game should start up fine with up-to-date drivers. This can be verified and altered via Nvidia Inspector.
XP SP3 compatibility mode fixes this issue.
