Issues unresolved

Cannot install the game from retail DVDs

Use Phoenix extractor^[18]

Extract the game files from the DVDs using this tutorial.
Start downloading the game in Steam (redeem the code from the back of the manual if a new copy was purchased).
Place extracted files in the game's Steamapps folder that chosen during the game's installation.
Right click on the game's name, go to Properties>Installed Files and click "Verify integrity of game files".
After verification, downloading of additional few gigabytes will start.

Dialogs of the Spanish dub are too loud or unintelligible

A number of dialogs from the Spanish localization have unregulated volume levels, which ranges from being almost inaudible to uncomfortably loud. While one way to deal with this would be enabling subtitles, such an option isn't available for this localization despite existing in the game's code.^[19]

Issues fixed

TweakGuides created a comprehensive guide for fixing issues in this game. An archived version can be found here.

Muffled audio

After dying in a mission, the audio may be muffled.^[20]

Restart level^[21]

Dark characters on "Victor Charlie" & "Vorkuta" level

On the level "Victor Charlie" characters may appear darkened when the flashlight is pointed at them.

On the level "Vorkuta" characters appear darkened when going up the elevator.

Edit the config file^[22]
Go to the configuration files location. Open `config.cfg` with a text editor. Find the line `seta r_allow_intz "1"` and set it to `"0"`. Find the line `r_allow_null_rt "1"` and set it to `"0"`.

Mouse issues on Linux

Change mouse polling rate
Temporarily change the mouse's polling rate to 125Hz (default is usually 1000 Hz) while playing.

Performance issues on Linux

If the current hardware is giving bad performance, it may be due to the scheduler in use by the kernel. The CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler) does not work well with this game.

Change Linux kernel scheduler
Switch to a kernel using a different scheduler such as `linux-tkg` with the PDS scheduler.
