Issues fixed

Hoppa chase glitch

On some systems, the Hoppa chase scene will stutter, preventing advancement. As this doesn't apply to all systems, you may be able to copy saved games to different computers.

Compatibility mode^[2]

Enable compatibility mode for Rogue Trooper - Windows XP SP3.

Notes

Does not work with Windows Vista, although the framerate is reported to improve slightly.

Seems to worsen during weapon fire.

Save game modification^{[citation needed]}

Go to the save game data location.
Open the appropriate saved game with a hex editor such as HxD.
Offset $2D8 is the current level - 05 is the hoppa chase. Change to 06

Notes

Always backup your saved games before modifying them.

Skipping the mission will likewise skip salvage that is otherwise found.
