Issues fixed

Game won't run

Game does not run[1]
  1. Turn on Windows XP compatibility mode
  2. Set resolution to lowest possible
Using just the first step may work

Unable to run on more than the lowest resolution

Use Sephus's ddraw.dll[2]
  1. Download the fixed ddraw.dll.
  2. Place it in <path-to-game>.

Notes

If this doesn't work try the old solution

Game crashes in some battles

Fix battle scripts
  1. Follow this guide to fix the battle script files.
This seems to happen only in the remastered Steam version.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/345240/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (345240) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
