For what it's worth, the GOG version of the game works just fine.

That being said, the game is known for some technically illegal behavior on modern Windows, namely using D3DSWAPEFFECT_COPY_VSYNC with 3 back buffers (only 1 is allowed by d3d8), which we've worked around in dxvk at some point. I wouldn't be surprised if whatever problem this updated version has is a game bug.

Nothing extracted yet.
