Issues fixed

Weirdly stretched textures

Use WineD3D for Windows[citation needed]
  1. Download WineD3D for Windows. If the graphics card is very old, download the pre-Vulkan version, otherwise go for the regular Vulkan version.
  2. Open the downloaded zip and extract d3d8.dll and wined3d.dll to <path-to-game>.

Audio issues

Suffers from unfixable audio issues, bad audio quality, popping, low, or completely broken audio. A DirectSound wrapper such as DSOAL might help with audio issues, but it's not totally guaranteed in all cases[5].
