Issues unresolved
Game won't start (black screen then crashes itself)
Gamepad issue[6] |
---|
It was noticed that Xbox Series gamepad if connected, can cause a problem where the game doesn't start and cause a crash. Disconnect and try with another gamepad. |
Issues fixed
Alternative installation method
In the event the game's setup.exe
crashes with a "Guru Meditation" error, a manual installation can be performed.
Alternative installation method[7] |

Notes:
|
Install on Windows 10 64-bit (Spanish Version)
Installing the game using a 16-bit emulator[citation needed] |
---|
|
Use DDrawCompat[6] |
---|
"Guru Meditation" error in loading races
The game sets the default color depth to 8 bits.
Change color depth to 16 bits from the game's graphic configuration[6] |
---|
Distorted Sound
Use DSOAL.[6] |

Game won't start (black screen then crashes itself)
Background applications causing crash[6] |
---|
It was observed that if wallpaper engine or any other 3D application is running in the background, the game can crash. Also OBS caused a similar issue. So if the game is not opening (just a black screen then closes) try to close most applications running in background that uses DirectX or OpenGL. |
