Issues unresolved
- Forced 800x600 resolution.
- Cutscenes often don't work, setting 16-bit colour compatibility can help. (Alt+F4 skips cutscenes).
- Screen can go black when clicking ActiveX objects (for e.g. minifigs or cannons).
- ClearType is often turned off when starting the game, making text pixelated in Windows. ClearType has to be re-enabled manually.
Issues fixed
