Issues fixed
Slow loading level and aero disabling
- Occurs only on Windows Vista and Windows 7, because of the special graphic stack WDDM.
Fix slow load level and spontaneous shutdown aero interface
|
- Install game only on Windows XP, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10.[2]
Notes
- Using Windows 8.1 or 10 significantly reduces the launch time of the level, perhaps this is due to improvements in the WDDM graphics stack.[3]

Control key settings are not assigned
- Keyboard settings reset to unassigned when you restart the game
Control key settings are not assigned fix

- Need run game as Administrator
|
Black screen on startup
- The problem is related to incorrect codecs for intro videos.
- I found the problem in the "logo_city.mpg". It's about a wrong audio codec into the "mpg" container.
Solution:
Download the proper "logo_city.mpg" clip
from :
https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZnRJGXZlEbTNXO7VX0iS6lgAQvCHkAKaQty
Copy the "logo_city.mpg" clip
into the game's main folder.
Path :
"\Operation Thunderstorm\Game\videos"
overwriting the existing one.
Soft Shadows not working
- Soft Shadows not working but setting enabled
Soft Shadows fix
|
- Need disable anti-aliasing in game options
- This is due to the features of the engine and the artificial limitation of the simultaneous use of anti-aliasing with soft shadows, since they can cause graphic artifacts on the shadows.
