Vsync (Enabled by default) not working on Windows 10
Use dgVoodoo2.[7] |

Use crosire's d3d8to9 wrapper.[8] |

High FPS Issues
- This is due to the movement physics being tied to FPS. The game uses Vsync (Enabled by default) to limit itself, but it does not work in Windows 10 because it has broken Vsync in DirectX 8.
Limit the Framerate to 60FPS[9] |
---|
|
Use dgVoodoo2.[10] |
---|
Broken Enemy A
- Loading into a save via the main menu causes enemy AI to always be on the lowest setting.
Start a mission on the difficulty you want the enemy AI on from the new game menu then load that save. |
