Essential improvements

Getting the game to work on modern systems

The game installation executable will fail to run on modern systems (Windows 10) and will give a "Error executing program! (31)" error.[citation needed]
Prepare to run the game on modern system[1]
  1. Install game normally.
  2. Download and install Patch 1.1.
  3. To install the Indeo codec, download Indeo Codec installer and run it as administrator.
  4. Run the command promt as administrator.
  5. Type in cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64 then regsvr32 ir50_32.dll.[2]
  6. Go to common folder in extracted directory and move all files to <path-to-game>\System.
  7. Download modified Khg.ini, extract it and move it to <path-to-game>\System.
Workaround using Linux[citation needed]
  1. Boot into Linux and install the latest stable version of Wine.
  2. Use Wine to install KHG off the CD using this guide.
  3. Copy the entire KHG directory across to a Windows drive.
  4. Reboot into Windows.

Field of view (FOV)
Use FOV X command.
Windowed

Borderless fullscreen windowed
Anisotropic filtering (AF)
See the glossary page for potential workarounds.
Anti-aliasing (AA)

Vertical sync (Vsync)
Always on for D3D, OpenGL and Software renderers. 3dfx requires forcing by a wrapper.
60 FPS
120+ FPS
Scales inccorectly above 120 FPS. This can be partially fixed by replacing bytes 0AD7A33B to 00000000 in Engine.dll. This, however, does not fix softlocks in some cutscenes that happen above 80 FPS.[3]
High dynamic range display (HDR)
See the glossary page for potential alternatives.
