Key points

Poor compatibility with modern operating systems.[1] See here for fixes.
Animations are not locked at 30 FPS like Tonic Trouble Special Edition is.

Availability

Source DRM Notes Keys OS
Retail
Disc check (requires the CD/DVD in the drive to play)
 Game also requires you to run it via a shortcut created in your desktop after installation to run it properly.
Windows
This game is not available digitally.

Version differences

Special Edition refers to a set of many earlier builds of of this game which were released around a year before it was sold in retail stores. They contain many differences from this version and were only bundled on some OEM discs.

Essential improvements

Patches

Patches are available here. The ttsndfix.zip patch fixes sounds not playing on A3D-compatible sound cards. All of the other patches listed here are not meant to be used with the retail version, but rather Tonic Trouble Special Edition.

Playing on modern operating systems

Use dgVoodoo 2 and a modified executable
  1. Install the game using SETUP.exe included in the game disc.
  2. Download the latest version of dgVoodoo 2.
  3. Copy the DLL files into <path-to-game> for DirectX support.
  4. Download this modified executable and replace the installed TonicTrouble.exe executable in order to be able to run the game on newer operating systems.
  5. Launch the original configuration tool and configure the game.
  6. Launch the game using the installed desktop shortcut with the game disc inserted.

Widescreen resolution

Widescreen resolutions
  1. Download this widescreen patching tool and copy it to <path-to-game>. Keep in mind that this tool only works with this modified executable, see here for help with running Tonic Trouble on modern operating systems.
  2. You must set the resolution to 800x600 in SetUpTT.exe in order for it to work. This will force the game to run at desktop resolution in native widescreen.
  3. If you don't want to play at desktop resolution, you can also use dgVoodoo 2 to force the game to run at a different resolution in combination with this patch.

Notes

This will decrease the horizontal FOV which cuts out part of the HUD and may affect playability of the game.

F1 will show game totals, F9 will toggle the HUD, and F4 will show the console. Typing and entering "version" in the console will show your current game version.
