Essential improvements

Patches

Patch V1.34 updates the game to the latest version. The DVD release is already patched.[4]

Unofficial patches

The Performance Patch fixes slow, jerky performance in Direct3D mode on Windows 8 and 10. It doesn't alter the game, only the compatibility settings.
The Font Enlargement Patch fixes the tiny font size. It's most useful on high resolution monitors.
dgVoodoo 2 is a Direct3D/DirectX wrapper that allows hardware rendering on current Windows versions.

For Windows 8 and later use the Software renderer to avoid frame rate issues.

Windowed mode

The game supports windowed mode only through enabling Debug mode. Windowed mode can also be achieved with cnc-ddraw and setting the game to Software rendering
Enable Debug mode[6]
  1. Open div.exe on a hex editor (e.g. HxD).
  2. Search for the first result of the pattern 89 5E 28 89 7E 2C 89 5E 34 89 5E as hex and change the first 5E byte to 7E.
  3. Save div.exe.
Applying this configuration enables usage of wrappers such as DgVoodoo for optimizing performance in modern systems
Use cnc-ddraw[7]
The game must be set to run on Software rendering mode using its included configuration tool.
  1. Download cnc-ddraw from Github.
  2. Extract the downloaded files into the game's install directory.
  3. Open cnc-ddraw config.exe and set the Presentation dropbox to Windowed.
  4. Close the tool and run the game.
If the game presents problems check the Compatibility settings option in the configuration tool.
