Key points

Game has stuttering, physics and enemy AI problems with frame rates higher than 30fps (24fps in some cases). Dedicated fans are currently working on a patch to fix this issue, until then limiting through graphics control panel is necessary.

Game uses obsolete protocols/methods for multiplayer. Internet play requires a direct connection to the internet whilst lan requires an IPX emulator. Fan are also working to fix this issue as well.

Multiplayer types

Type	Native	Players	Notes
LAN play		8	Versus Uses old IPX protocol which is no longer supported on modern Windows. Requires use of IPX emulators such as ipxemu.
Online play		8	Versus Requires a direct internet connection (cannot be behind a router). Can be bypassed by using a tunneling program such as Tunngle. Nitro Pack users can get around this by using the Unofficial Nitro Pack Patch.
