Windows - 2000

How to Play

Notes:

  • The game doesn't work correctly on modern systems. Before the launch, open the game settings in control panel of your graphics card (e.g. "NVIDIA Control Panel" -> "Manage 3D Settings" -> "Program Settings") and set the "Vertical Sync" function to "Adaptive (half refresh rate)" for this game. Another possible method to enable Vsync (if this setting is missed from your graphics card driver) is to use Ddwrapper and set the parameters FakeVsync = 1 and FakeVsyncInterval = 33 in the aqrit.cfg file
  • It seems that the reason why the game have such issues is that the game doesn't work correctly on CPUs faster than 600 MHz. So the another possible way to play the game is to run the game on Virtual Machine with old Windows (like Windows XP), and manually select the maximum clock rate in settings of Virtual Machine
  • The game uses obsolete Indeo codec for videos, that codec works only in Windows XP or older and was disabled in new Windows OS for security reasons. If you use Windows XP, you can find the installer for Indeo 5 codec here or on the disc. If you want to enable it on Windows 10, you can restore Indeo codec with this Registry Fix; make sure to disable it once you don't need it anymore!
  • Russian "pirated" release cannot be completed because the "pirates" mistaken the files. If you install that version, make sure to use the fix, the archive includes the correct game files

You cannot play this game on fast machines 600 MHZ. You will be unable to enter the shed right in the first level, what you need to do, because of desynchronization of movement speed and 3D Engine speed. Use a tool like speedswitch
