Minor

AquaNox

• Can't skip intros; unmpak can extract its PAK format but the images are timed TIFs, not actual video files, so probably not possible to disable without understanding of game's scripting

Anvil of Dawn

• Can't skip intros; videos are in DFA format which can be decoded but not encoded

Arx Fatalis

• intro skip - intro can't be automatically skipped due to being real-time; ideally Arx Libertatis would have an option for this.

Dune 2000

• Can't skip intros; game only works as LAN spawn if MOVIES path does not point to the CD.

Dungeons & Dragons: Dragonshard

• Can't skip intros; videos are in H2O archives which cannot be recompressed

Hover!

• Music only starts playing after Sound Options has been opened

Iron Storm

• Intro skip isn't instant; tried encoding instant replacement with 4X Movie Compressor but game rejects it.

Might and Magic IX

• Higher resolutions break the menus

Stonekeep

• Can't skip intros; GOG version runs executable from CD image (so folder overrides don't work); videos are Interplay MVE so still might not work even then.

Wing Commander: Privateer

• Forces controller calibration at launch if two controllers are connected

Major

Chessmaster 5500

• Sounds and voice features cause crashes if enabled; swapping mss32.dll from other games doesn't fix it.

Darkstone

• Major graphics issues on AMD drivers newer than Catalyst 13.1; -sortbyz parameter partially resolves this

Flight Unlimited II

• Crashes at launch on Windows 8 and later

Indiana Jones and his Desktop Adventures

• 16-bit game; swapping files with Yoda Stories didn't work.

Sea Dogs

• Windowed mode has corrupted UI

Tinker

• Level editor cannot detect the Games for Windows - LIVE version; I don't have Windows Vista Ultimate Extras to test.
