Issues unresolved
EAX sound on modern systems
EAX sound is unsupported on modern systems. As the in-game implementation was quite buggy and caused crashes even on systems with EAX support, this is removed in the GOG.com version.
Issues fixed
Couldn't load renderer (AMD)
Install DirectX[citation needed] |
---|
Install the DirectX End-User Runtimes. |
Couldn't load renderer
Install nGlide[citation needed] |
---|
Install the nGlide wrapper. Many users report this as an inferior solution to updated native drivers or DirectX, but if for whatever reason OpenGL doesn't work, this is an option. |
Low frame rate / stuttering
