Here's how to fix the game's models not rendering.

WIN key, search "Graphics", click "Graphics Settings". Where it says "Custom options for apps", click "Browse", and go to the game's directory. Click on the game's .exe. It'll be added to the list below, find it there, click on it, and click "Options". Set it to "High Performance" and turn on "Don't use optimizations for windowed games". Restart the game and see if this worked.

Just thought I'd spread the word that there are various fixes for this version!

(Don't forget to use the DRM-Free Install of this game of course)

Music, SFX and even some texture fixes:

--------------------------------------------------------

Various "missing effects" can be fixed:
https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=86930

By using DgVoodoo to set the Texture Filtering to "force point sampled". In-case the newest version doesn't work, you can use this version that worked for me (use x86 D3D9.dll that is included, not the x64 or arm):
https://github.com/dege-diosg/dgVoodoo2/releases/tag/v2.78.1

Don't forget to turn Force Vsync on DgVoodoo (as that fixes some of the animation running too fast) and remove the DgVoodoo logo from showing.
--------------------------------------------------------

Finally, use this to enable EAX Surround Sound (which can be enabled in "pmw2setup.exe":

Admittedly a bit much to do considering there is the console versions that can be emulated/played...but for those who want the PC Version for whatever reason, there ya go.

Make sure to get the DRM free install because the ISO contains StarForce. Also install the widescreen patch.

I'm having an issue with installing this. I try to run the install application after mounting the disc, but it just tells me "This app can't run on your PC". Is there any way around this? Am I missing a step?

The game is awesome! Idk how it runs in Windows 10 bc it runs in my Windows 10 xd
If the game says binkw32.dll missing you have to open the hip games folder (I think that's just for the version No install DRM free) It works great the game! 10/10. Now this is my fav page for download old games :)!

The game works fine if you use the patch. When you use the installer it will try to tell you to restart to finish installation but it does not need to do this. Follow the instructions on this page and the game should work fine. On windows 10 you NEED the patch but it shouldn't be difficult to use.
