Essential improvements
Alternate installer
- Allows the game to be installed from the original CD on 64-bit Windows.
- Also patches the game, rips the music from the CD, adds winmm.dll to play the music from the hard drive and removes the CD check.
Patches
- The latest version is 2.0.1. Install the 1.1 Update, 2.0 Update, and 2.0.1 Update.
- Use the Outlaws D3D Update to add Direct3D rendering and support for higher resolutions (requires the 2.0.1 Update).
Outlaws Mouse Helper
- Enables changing weapons by scrolling the mouse wheel up/down and other useful functions with the mouse wheel and the middle and right mouse buttons.
Higher quality graphics
The dgVoodoo wrapper, unlike nGlide, allows for enabling translucency effects, anisotropic filtering and antialiasing.
Use the dgVoodoo 2 wrapper[1] |

This happens only in native Direct3D mode.
Switch to 3Dfx Glide mode in olcfg.exe [3]

HUD is missing
Try pressing the - and / keys (separately) to bring it back[5] |
---|
Full-sized HUD and sepia effects missing
These features of the game require software rendering mode.
Use software rendering mode[6] |
---|
Windows mouse pointer is periodically visible
The Windows mouse pointer (or the blue, "working" circle) briefly flashes on screen while playing.
Enable Vsync[citation needed] |
---|

Dark screen after loading underwater save
Load a different save first, then the underwater save[7] |
---|
Cutscenes play too fast (XP)
Disable audio acceleration[8] |
