Essential improvements

Hang on title screen

If you experience a hang on the title screen, this is likely because you enabled General MIDI music in the games sound setup.

This is a bug to do with the SOUND/MPU401.MDI driver included with the game.

Disable or patch GM driver[1]

You either need to disable, or patch the General MIDI driver.

A patch for the game that fixes the hang and enhances the multiplayer features is available on The Patches Scrolls
