Essential improvements
Hang on title screen
If you experience a hang on the title screen, this is likely because you enabled General MIDI music in the games sound setup.
This is a bug to do with the SOUND/MPU401.MDI driver included with the game.
| Disable or patch GM driver[1] |
|---|
|
You either need to disable, or patch the General MIDI driver. A patch for the game that fixes the hang and enhances the multiplayer features is available on The Patches Scrolls |
