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.
Stutter on multi-core systems
Game hangs on loading campagin
- The game sometimes hangs if it needs to change disks to load a specific campaign.

- ↑ 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/490370/
in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (490370) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
