Key points

Poor compatibility with modern systems.[1] See here for fixes.

Availability

Source DRM Notes Keys OS
Retail
Disc check (requires the CD/DVD in the drive to play)
 There is a UK version (Master V5) (with file licensuk.txt) and a US version (which may not work with patched binary for modern systems).
Windows
This game is not available digitally.

Essential improvements

Play the game on modern systems

Use dgVoodoo[citation needed]
  1. Install the game using SETUP.exe included in the retail CD.
  2. Download the latest version of dgVoodoo 2.
  3. Copy dgVoodoo2 files in the main game directory for Glide or DirectX support.
  4. Launch original config tool.
  5. Launch game using installed link.

Run without CD

Modify the game's shortcut and add -cdrom:X parameter where X is your drive letter[2]
Use custom launcher (not for Special Edition)[3]
Allows to avoid copying extra files or the CD presence itself.
Patched binary has the "\Videos" folder location patched to the game folder. You can copy them manually to use by the game.
Additionally you can copy from the game disk all .MPX files and .DSC in GameData\World\Sound to the game location (they're ambient and music sounds).

Game data

Configuration file(s) location

C:\Windows\UBI.INI is used for patched binary (run SetUpTT.exe to recreate it).
System Location
Windows C:\Windows\UBISOFT\UBI.INI
C:\Windows\UBI.INI

Save game data location

System Location
Windows <path-to-game>\GAMEDATA\SaveGame[Note 1]

Video settings

Template:Video settings

Widescreen resolution

For retail
  1. Force using dgVoodoo2 (package already configured to work at maximum display resolution available, proper aspect ratio, and MSAA (4x)).
  2. Use also Widescreen patcher (works only with patched retail binary for modern systems) and only on retail version.
  3. You must set 800x600 as the resolution in the UBI.ini/setup for it to work. In case of no game launch, run SetUpTT.exe[4]

Notes

Higher resolutions set in ubi.ini can cause game crash.
Widescreen resoluton set in ubi.ini will crop some game HUD elements.

Input settings

Template:Input settings

F9 can disable HUD, F12 will show console (SE), F1 for Glide. Command "version" will show your current game version.

Executable 32-bit 64-bit Notes

In case of no startup of the game (even with dgVoodoo or Wine) use patched binary due to binary incompatibility with Vista and up due to binary compression method on all versions except French [5].

Middleware

No middleware information; you can edit this page to add it.
