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
- The game will crash on certain screens (fleet info, design, scenario select, and probably others) if the display aspect ratio isn't 4:3 in the ig2.ini file. Remember to edit the file to include the line
Video mode = 1024x768x32
after running setup.exe. This will work even on displays that are not 4:3 aspect ratio. - The game will stutter on multi core systems.[citation needed] Change the shortcut target to:
%WINDIR%\System32\cmd.exe /C START "Imperium Galactica 2" /normal /affinity 1 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Digital Reality\Imperium Galactica 2\ig2nt.exe"
. This assumes the patches are installed. The game will start with affinity for one core (core zero, change the number to use different cores) on a multi core machine. - Remember to use Windows 98 compatibility mode on
ig2nt.exe
.[citation needed] - The game needs to change disks for different campaigns. Sometimes it hangs, therefore insert the disk of the campaign you want to play before starting the game. ISO files with a virtual drive are useful for this.

Notes
- ↑ SafeDisc retail DRM does not work on Windows 10[1] or Windows 11 and is disabled by default on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 when the KB3086255 update is installed.[2]

. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (490370) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
