Issues unresolved
Retail version compatibility problems
- Many bugs, glitches and crashes in every OS higher than Windows XP. Only the GOG.com version has better support.[citation needed]
Fatal error: Exception 0xc0000005 at 0x00468bd0!
- Occurs if something went wrong while using trading routes via ship (but not limited to this). It's a bug in the game itself.[1]
Music stops when playing as Mayan
- If you fight as Mayan, the music stops playing after a fight. This is a known bug that was never fixed. You can start the music again if you move the in-game Sound FX slider under Settings > Sound settings.[1]
Issues fixed
"Error initializing Graphic Interface" error (or black screen/game doesn't launch)
Use Windows 10 patch (DXwrapper)[2] |
