Mouse acceleration
- The Quake (II) Engine used for this game is somewhat notorious for "ignoring" the Enhanced Pointer Precision setting, and uses the Windows acceleration curve it refers to regardless. Since the game offers no option (like raw input) to bypass Windows filtering completely, it's necessary to apply a small registry change to take care of this acceleration.
| MarkC Acceleration Fix[3] |
|---|
|
The MarkC Fix is a small registry change that modifies this acceleration curve to be linear - this simply means that this function will no longer act as acceleration. Thus, when a game calls for the function, no acceleration will be applied to your mouse input. This also means that this fix is universal, and not exclusive to this game alone. |
Audio

| Audio feature | State | Notes |
|---|---|---|

| Surround sound | ||
| Subtitles | Under Game Options, listed as Dialog System. Speech from random goons is not subtitled, even if they're unique lines. |
|
| Closed captions | ||
| Mute on focus lost | ||
| EAX support | A3D 1.0 and 2.0 (after 1.03 patch).[4] EAX 1[5] |
- New Night Dive Studios v1.13 on Steam & GOG removes A3D and EAX support due to original 3D sound code being unbuildable on modern systems.

Shuttering with high frame rate
- Game runs in very high frame rate at new systems (1000 FPS) which can cause image and input shuttering.
- This problem does not occur in the digital versions of the game because in a recent patch a limit of 200fps was added.
