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 60Hz |
|---|
Game crash or hangs indefinitely on a small black window after launch
| Use dgVoodoo 2 window behavior control[4] |
