Issues unresolved
Terror Strike (North American version) cannot be installed on storage units with very high capacity
- The North American version refuses to install when it is being installed on a storage unit with very high capacity such as 22TB, game installs fine on a 2TB HDD, may also work on an 8TB HDD.[citation needed]
The Regiment (EU version)'s installer works on a 22TB HDD with no problems.
Workaround: Install the game to a storage unit with lower capacity |
---|
Issues fixed
- This happens if MSI Afterburner is running in the background. Video output can be regained by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete and closing the game through the Task Manager.
Install DgVoodoo 2 to use them simultaneously |
