| + | }} | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Cutscenes play too fast=== | ||
| + | {{ii}} Game logic is tied to frame rate. At over 60 FPS, mouse is jerky and cutscenes are too fast cutting off characters' voice lines. At extremely high frame rates, game runs inhumanly fast. | ||
| + | {{Fixbox|description=[[Glossary:Frame rate (FPS)#Frame rate capping|Limit the frame rate]] to 60 FPS|ref={{cn|date=September 2021}}}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{Fixbox|description=Set the refresh rate to 60 Hz}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Game crash or hangs indefinitely on a small black window after launch=== | ||
| + | {{Fixbox|description=Use [[dgVoodoo 2]] window behavior control<ref>{{Refcheck|user=Dgrdsv|date=2024-02-29|comment=Comment (optional)}}</ref>|fix= | ||
| + | # Setup the game to run through dgVoodoo 2: put {{file|D3DImm.dll}} and {{file|DDraw.dll}} from {{folder|/MS/x86}} folder of dgVoodoo 2 distribution into {{folder|{{p|game}}}}; put {{file|dgVoodooCpl.exe}} there as well. | ||
| + | # Launch {{file|dgVoodooCpl.exe}} in {{folder|{{p|game}}}}, go to <code>DirectX</code> tab and uncheck both options in <code>Behavior</code> group. Click <code>OK</code>. | ||
| + | # This will disable game's own control over window behavior which seem to result in a hangup on start on Windows 10 and 11. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Notes''' | ||
| + | {{ii}} The desired display resolution can also be forced with dgVoodoo 2 instead of using the game's own resolution options, which seem to be fairly limited. Make sure to setup the game to use a resolution with the same aspect ratio however – especially if using [[#Video|the widescreen patch]]. | ||

Notes
|
Cutscenes play too fast
- Game logic is tied to frame rate. At over 60 FPS, mouse is jerky and cutscenes are too fast cutting off characters' voice lines. At extremely high frame rates, game runs inhumanly fast.
| Limit the frame rate to 60 FPS[citation needed] |
|---|
| Set the refresh rate to 60 Hz |
|---|
Game crash or hangs indefinitely on a small black window after launch
| Use dgVoodoo 2 window behavior control[4] |
