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.

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]
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/490370/. - 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.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
