Issues unresolved
- On some systems with Nvidia or Intel graphics, the game may not properly resize some menu elements such as the start screen, dialogue boxes, in-game pause menu, etc. While can be workeed around with wrappers such as dgVoodoo 2, it is not ideal as this likely can reduce performance due to unnecessary drawcalls conversion.[7]
