Fixes
The game suffers from occasional freezes during the loading screen at which point a game restart is in place. To fix this, you need to update the d3dx9_25.dll
file. To do this, navigate to %Windir%\system32
, copy the latest d3dx9_.dll
file in the game directory, which happens to be d3dx9_43.dll
, delete the original d3dx9_25.dll
from the game directory, then rename d3dx9_43.dll
to d3dx9_25.dll
.

Local play | 2 | Versus The PC version supports 4 player gameplay like the console versions without issues. However, the developers decided to disallow 4 players in the game's menu code and did not implement reading of inputs for players 3 and 4 (their input data is still stored). Through hacking, playing 4 players is possible. [4] |
