Additional Comments

Tested with DirectDrawRenderer = opengl and OffscreenRenderingMode = fbo set in registry. After installation, run config.exe and make the following changes: Set Pixel Shader to 1.4, 2.0 will result in graphical errors. Set Antialiasing to none, else you'll get nothing but a blank screen on startup. Set Music to OFF or the same error as above will occur. Disable special effects to prevent game from crashing on player's death. The game uses the dreadful StarForce copy protection, so you need to use a fixed exe.
