Getting the game to work on modern systems

  2. Download and install Patch 1.1.
  3. To install the Indeo codec if missing from the system, see Troubleshooting guide.[3]
  4. Download the music files from MediaFire or fdossena.com and extract them to <path-to-game>.
  5. Insert disc 2 and copy the contents of the Avi folder (but not the folder itself) to <path-to-game>\System.
  6. Download modified Khg.ini, extract it and move it to <path-to-game>\System. Alternatively, use fdossena's "life support pack" (with modified khg.ini, no-disc executable and Glide renderer from dgVoodoo 2).

Only for D3D, OpenGL and Software renderers. 3dfx requires a wrapper capable of forcing windowed mode.

Vertical sync (Vsync)
Always on for D3D, OpenGL and Software renderers. 3dfx requires forcing by a wrapper.
60 FPS
120+ FPS
Scales incorrectly above 120 FPS. This can be partially fixed by replacing bytes 0AD7A33B to 00000000 in Engine.dll. This, however, does not fix softlocks in some cutscenes that happen above 80 FPS.[4]
High dynamic range display (HDR)
See the glossary page for potential alternatives.

Widescreen resolution

Modify configuration file[5]
  1. Open <path-to-game>\System\khg.ini with a text editor.
  2. In the [WinDrv.WindowsClient] section, modify the ViewportX and ViewportY to the desired width and height, respectively.
  3. Save the file.

Notes

The game may launch into a black screen; press Alt+Tab when in-game to resolve this.
Alternatively, use this modified OpenGL renderer.
