Issues fixed
Unable to install the game from the disc
- The installer on the disc does not work on modern Windows OSes, being designed for older OSes.
In the properties of installer.exe, set compatibility mode to Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
|
|---|
Audio pops during cutscenes on newer Windows OS
- The game's cutscenes rely on an old DirectSound DLL file for proper sound playback from the CD.
When installed on newer OSses like Windows 10, the game will use the latest version of the DLL, which causes the issue.
| Use an old version of DirectSound |
|---|
|
Lower resolution and lack of support for higher resolution monitors
- The game being quite old, was never properly designed to be scaled for higher resolution monitors of today.
Some elements scale up quite poorly and the overall presentation looks quite bad.
| Use dgVoodoo2 |
|---|
|
No music in-game
- The game uses CDDA audio to play music while playing with the CD inserted, and modern Windows versions do not support this properly.
| Instructions |

|
Method #1
Method #2
|
Issues unresolved
EAX is not available in newer Windows versions after Vista
- There is a fix that enables 3D sound, but it breaks the audio in cutscenes completely.
| Use Creative ALchemy on any sound card other than Creative ones |
|---|
|
Music does not loop in newer Windows versions (e.g. Windows 10)
- There is no fix so far.
