Issues fixed
Game won't start
{{Fixbox|description=Delete the files conf.ini
and bldconf.ini
from the game's install directory|ref=[4]|fix=
- This will cause the game to generate new configuration files to replace the ones deleted.
- This issue may be caused by using the same installation of the game across different computers (i.e., a portable installation of the game), and incompatibilities arise from differing hardware configurations that prevent the game from launching.
Enable the Escape key in conf.ini [5]

- Edit
<path-to-game> \code.ini
- If not present already, add the following lines to the file:
