- The DRM on the Steam version is sort of weird. The outer DRM on the executable is Steam DRM, and the inner DRM is an odd hand-written-assembly wrapper with a disabled disc check. In any case, the actual game EXE is not encrypted and can be extracted and run without Steam.
Essential improvements
Prevent crashing due to missing codecs
- The game may crash on Windows Vista and later because it can't decode the movies properly. This issue manifests itself as sudden exiting after seeing the menu loading screen.
- This can be fixed by either using a dummy
mpeg.dllor removing the video files.
