Issues unresolved
Blank cutscenes
- Many cinematics in the campaigns play only the sound (most notably the introductions).
Multiplayer compatibility
- Multiplayer. But the guide linked earlier mentions it's possible if you ensure windows firewall is disabled. Apparently multiplayer will work with any of the four disks.
Issues fixed
Game crashes on non-4:3 resolutions
- The game will crash on certain screens (fleet info, design, scenario select, etc.) if the display aspect ratio isn't 4:3 in the
ig2.ini
file.
Modify ig2.ini[citation needed] |
