Issues fixed
3D acceleration problems
- Running the game with 3D acceleration turned on may cause crashes or graphics problems on some modern machines.
Use dgVoodoo 2[citation needed]
|
- Download newest dgVoodoo 2.
- Extract
dgVoodooCpl.exe and the contents of the Glide and MS\x86 subfolders to <path-to-game> .
- Go to DirectX tab and make sure that Disable and passthru to real DirectX is not checked.

- Click OK.
|
8-bit Palettized textures option greyed out
- A bug in the original code meant this option can't be selected without this fix. See this video for information on what this option does.
Use a hex editor[5]
|
- Download a hex editor of choice, such as HxD.
- Within the hex editor, open
game.exe in the install directory.
- Search for the byte pattern 0F 85 DA 00 00 00 located at offset 20E4C, and change it to 0F 85 DF 00 00 00. Save the change.
- Repeat process with file
config.exe , also in the install directory.
- 8-Bit texture option in config.exe should now be selectable, with animated textures in-game.

Music always turned off
Change the CD drive's label to D:
or use the Music does not loop solution below.
Music does not loop
- This is a known issue on Windows XP and later.
Possible fix[6]
|
- Rip the game CD-ROM's music.
.ogg and .mp3 codecs should be fully supported.
- Extract patched _inmm.dll and open its main folder.
- Go to
<path-to-game> and drag game.exe to _inmmconf.exe in Windows Explorer.
- Open
_inmmconf.exe and set DirectShow player for default file type in the method tab
- In the _inmm.ini tab, click "add" and select the ripped music files numbered track2 to track10.
- Press the save button and place it in the
<path-to-game> folder.
|
Alternate fix using Winamp[citation needed]
|
- Set
game.exe and config.exe to run as administrator.
- In patched _inmm.dll, set method as "Winamp" for wav/mp3/CDDA, Uder Player, select Winamp, install Winamp or WACUP and put the path of Winamp inside; other options remain unchecked.
- Patch
game.exe with this new configuration by dragging game.exe to _inmmcnf.exe , then create a new _inmm.ini from _inmmcnf.exe (in the tab) by dragging and dropping the ripped music tracks.
- Put the new
_inmm.ini to <path-to-game> .
