Issues fixed
Game temporarily pauses during transitions
- This issue occurs with the official DOSBox builds in fullscreen mode on Windows 8 and later due to the game changing the resolution and refresh rate between menus and levels.
Runtime error 200
- This error occurs due to a higher speed processor.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS game data. For the GOG.com release, file changes in DOSBox are redirected to
<path-to-game>/cloud_saves/ even if GOG Galaxy is not used (this folder contains all redirected files, so some files in the cloud_saves folder might be temporary files or other files that do not contain saves or settings).
