Key points
- Although game is playable without wrappers like DgVoodoo2 (through Direct3D), on some machines this might cause some graphics to flicker and see through clothing (See use nGlide or DirectX 11 Renderer to fix).
- Very small but active community.
- Modification of the engine's advanced options in D3D rendering mode can cause the game to crash. (See this workaround for an alternative method to change them).
- Might need UnSafeDisc.
General information

Issues unresolved
Level editor is not starting
- This does not interfere with the main game at all.
The ability to make custom maps is currently not possible on modern systems due to the editor being unable to start.
A partially working fix can be found here (WoTedFix3.zip at the bottom), but the editor still starts and immediately crashes.[6]
Issues fixed
Technical Issues
- Run the game in 3DFX mode after installing nGlide if D3D mode is giving error messages.
Cutscene Fix
- Without this fix cutscenes do not play, or play but stutter to the point of where they are unwatchable.
