Issues fixed

Changing the screen resolution

v1.0 has no feature to change the screen resolution. Patch v1.2 adds this feature in the main menu.

Crash on startup (Original version)

Caused by too many calls by OpenGL extensions.[4]
Use ThirteenAG's WS fix[4]
If it still does not work, then go to <path-to-game> and make sure you have file OpenAL32.dll (you can download it from here)
and rename the .exe file from stubbs.exe to CoDSP.exe .
Nvidia Profile Inspector[4][5]
  1. Download Nvidia Profile Inspector
  2. Locate the game's profile
  3. Under Common set Extension Limit to 0x00004844 or On
Rename the stubbs.exe to CoDSP.exe and use dgVoodoo 2 to fix the DirectDraw error that pops up.[4]
In Steam you also have to add the exe file as a non-Steam game in order to run it.

Game fails to start (Original version)

Error: "The program can't start because OpenAL32.dll is missing from your computer"
Reinstall OpenAL[3]
Error: "Your computer does not meet the minimum video card requirements".
Start the game as an administrator.

Mouse not captured
