Key points

Master servers for the multiplayer were shut down in February 2012. A mod S4NDMoD solves this problem, by making a game use fans' master server.

Issues fixed

Enlarged Upper Left Corner of Screen

Increasing the game resolution above 800x600 causes the upper left corner of the game to take up the entire screen. One reason is that game detects a 3dfx driver (possibly caused by nGlide).
