Minor

AquaNox

  • Can't skip intros; unmpak can extract its PAK format but the images are timed TIFs, not actual video files, so probably not possible to disable without understanding of game's scripting

Anvil of Dawn

  • Can't skip intros; videos are in DFA format which can be decoded but not encoded

Dungeons & Dragons: Dragonshard

  • Can't skip intros; videos are in H2O archives which can only be modified with paid tools

Hover!

  • Music only starts playing after Sound Options has been opened

Might and Magic IX

  • Higher resolutions break the menus

Wing Commander: Privateer

  • Forces controller calibration at launch if two controllers are connected

Major

Chessmaster 5500

  • Sounds and voice features cause crashes if enabled; swapping mss32.dll from other games doesn't fix it.

Darkstone

  • Major graphics issues on AMD drivers newer than Catalyst 13.1; -sortbyz parameter partially resolves this

Flight Unlimited II

  • Crashes at launch on Windows 8 and later

Indiana Jones and his Desktop Adventures

Sea Dogs

  • Windowed mode has corrupted UI

Tinker
