Issues resolved

Animation corruptions

The animation cycles in the game appear to be locked to frame rate. On newer hardware, this will cause the game's frame rate to be too high and animations appear to be playing twice as fast (occurs both in-game and in-menu animations). The game uses a Vsync (enabled by default) to limit itself but it does not work in Windows 10 because Windows 10 has broken Vsync in DirectX 8.
Use dgVoodoo 2[2]
  1. Download [1] dgvoodoo2.
  2. Copy D3D8.DLL from the \MS\x86\ folder to the game install directory.
  3. Set the monitor's refresh rate on 60 Hz.
Use DxWnd[citation needed]
  1. Download DXWnd
  2. Extract to a directory of preference.
  3. Run DxWnd in Admin mode.
  4. On the top bar of DxWnd, click on "Edit" and choose "Add".
  5. Go to "Path:" on the Main page and click the "..." next to the white text box.
  6. Navigate to where the game is installed.
  7. Click on the "KaosPC.exe" and click "Open".
  8. Now click "OK", the icon for the game will now appear in DXWnd, it will be dealt with later.
  9. Click on "Options" from the top bar, and click "Expert Mode".
  10. Right click on the State of Emergency game icon in DxWnd and choose "Modify".
  11. Click on the "Timing" tab.
  12. Under "Frame Per Second", click on the box next to "Limit".
  13. In the text box for "delay (msec)", enter "60".
  14. Under "delay (msec)", click on the box next to "Hz".
  15. Now click "OK".
  16. All done, double click the State of Emergency icon and launch the game.

No music in-game

Copy music files to <path-to-game>[3]
  1. Navigate to the Audio folder on the game CD.
  2. Copy the WMA folder to <path-to-game>\Audio\.
