Issues fixed[edit]
Low FPS on modern versions of Windows[edit]
- Improves performance
- DirectDraw emulation is broken in Windows 8 and later
Use a DirectDraw wrapper[2][3] |
---|
Notes
|
Alternative workaround for low FPS[edit]
There are three ways of fixing the problem:
- Use the DirectDraw/DirectX wrapper method mentioned above previously.
- Disable hardware acceleration if fullscreen is on.
- Play the game in a window. Hardware acceleration works fine while the game is windowed.

Notes
- ↑ 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>/3300/
in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (3300) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details. - ↑ When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below
%PROGRAMFILES%
,%PROGRAMDATA%
, or%WINDIR%
might be redirected to%LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore
on Windows Vista and later (more details).
