Essential improvements

Patches

The game comes with a built-in autopatcher. However, the latest patches can be downloaded manually from here (you'll likely have to download previous patches from the same site, as the official source was taken down).

Game crash on startup on systems with more than 8 threads

Use one of those methods
  • Download High thread count fix from GOG Support and put all files from the archive to "<path-to-game>".
  • Reduce the amount of cores or disable HyperThreading/SMT on your BIOS/UEFI settings.
  • Reduce the amount of threads used by windows trough msconfig. Press "R+win key" on your keyboard, write "msconfig" and press enter. In msconfig go to "boot" tab and "advanced options", check the "number of processors" checkbox and select 8 or 4. Accept the changes and restart your computer. In order to undo the changes just go again to msconfig and unckeck the "number of processors checkbox.

Windows 7 DirectX 10 Workaround

DirectX 10 rendering mode was broken after installing Platform update for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (KB2670838). To run the game in DX10 mode without crashing, uninstall KB2670838 from Control Panel.

Skip intro videos

Replace intro videos with blank BINK videos[5]
  1. Download this mod: Skip intro videos at Nexus Mods.
  2. Extract the contents of the downloaded archive to "<path-to-game>".

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/21760/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (21760) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
