Issues fixed

Corrupted graphics on modern systems

Use SilentPatch[10]

Low frame rate

Use SilentPatch[10]

Very slow in-game mouse-movement

Negative mouse acceleration is forced in-game and can't be disabled. It gets significantly worse the higher your mouse polling rate is high or DPI is low. It can cause very slow mouse-movement in-game, making it hard to accurately aim with your weapon.[14] There are no known fixes for this issue, only a few workarounds that make the game playable.
Workaround: Lower the mouse's polling rate through hardware or software options to a lower value like 125hz[15]
Workaround: Set mouse DPI very high to a value like 12000 through hardware or software options[16]
Not all mice have option for very high DPI settings. Use polling rate workaround then instead.

Run the game at screen refresh rate

The game defaults to a 60 Hz refresh rate. Enforcing a 60 FPS cap is still recommended.
Override refresh rate set by game[17]
  1. Download and extract dgVoodoo 2.
  2. Copy D3D9.dll from the MS\x86\ folder to the game folder.
  3. Run dgVoodoo, and add the game folder to the list.
  4. Enable the Enumerate refresh rates option.
  5. Go to the DirectX tab, and set the desired resolution (e.g. 1920x1080, 119Hz).
  6. (Optional) Disable the dgVoodoo Watermark option to prevent the dgVoodoo logo from showing on game launch.
  7. Click OK to apply changes.

    Setting mouse polling rate to 125 through Logitech G Hub fixed my in-game mouse acceleration issues.

    Had same effect as reducing the polling rate. Set through Logitech G Hub
