Issues unresolved
Water effects not rendering
- When the Water effects graphics option is enabled, water does not render on certain modern systems, such as those employing Intel HD Graphics. Disabling the setting is a working—albeit sub-optimal—solution.
Most of the dialogue has low volume causing it to be inaudible and no subtitles are provided
- Appears to be a problem on modern systems only.
- No known fixes. [10]
Issues fixed
Controller input not detected.
Unable to use Power of Haste when using Controller
- Gamepads are not working on some systems.[11] The game also has sensitivity issues with diagonal input for XInput controllers (running diagonally does not work because the game expects DirectInput values).
- XInput Controllers need the below fix to enable both triggers to work simultaneously to use The Power of Haste in the game.[12]
Use XInput Plus[13] |

Notes
|
Extreme amounts of fog
- Fixed in the GOG.com version.[14]
Use Peixoto's patch[citation needed] |
