Issues fixed
Installing on 64-bit versions of Windows
- The original disc release uses a 16-bit installer.
Install with a modified 32-bit installer[citation needed] |
---|
|
Game crashes
- The game often runs too fast on modern CPUs and must be slowed down.
Slow down CPU speed[citation needed] |
---|
Use a CPU slowdown utility, such as CPU Grabber. |
Use an external framerate limiter[citation needed] |
---|
Use an external framerate limiter such as one found within FRAPS, RivaTuner, Nvidia Driver, etc. to limit the framerate to around 30 FPS. |
