Issues fixed
Creative Alchemy Wrapper not working
By default the DSOUND.dll of the creative alchemy wrapper is ignored by the game. So No surround sound or EAX can be selected. {{Fixbox|1= Template:Fixbox/fix
- Search for value DSOUND.DLL inside it
- change DSOUND.DLL value to ESOUND.DLL
- Save the dll.
- Rename the DSOUND.DLL of the ALchemy Wrapper inside the game folder to ESOUND.DLL
- The game should now use the ESOUND.dll (instead of the native Windows DSOUND.DLL)
- EAX and Surround sound should be now available and can be activate.
- No log will be created by the alchemy wrapper due to the renaming.
Random Crash on modern OS
The game could crash on Other windows than 95/98SE, this issue can be fix by forcing the game to use only one CPU core..
