Issues unresolved
Micro stuttering
It seems certain motherboards/chipsets combinations can cause the game to stutter every second or two, depending also on the connected HID Devices (keyboards, mouse etc.). There is no known fix other than changing motherboard and chipset or trying to unplug or disable the affected hardware. As a workaround, a virtual machine with 3D graphics acceleration, e.g. VMware Workstation Player, can be used to run the game.[3]
Issues fixed
No sound during gameplay
- This is caused by a missing or outdated OpenAL installation.
|
Instructions[citation needed]
|
|
Install OpenAL and restart the game.
