Issues
- Istallation program only works with winver=win98.
- Game does not install; the installation program cannot find disk 2. To bypass:
- Install as normal. When the installation program asks for disk 2, stop the install from Cedega.
- Open disk 2, and copy the file DISK_2.cab to wherever you installed the game. Specifically, the root directory of the game (the directory containing Meridian.exe).
- Run cabextract on DISK_2.cab. This will create a few dozen files.
- Delete DISK_2.cab as it is now unneeded.
- Create a shortcut in P2P to Meridian.exe, setting workdir to the root directory of the game.
- Intro videos are scrambled and sometimes freeze the program. Hitting Enter bypasses, but hitting it too fast may cause a freeze. Waiting a second after the video starts before hitting Enter seems to work well.
- Main menu and some cutscenes are jerky. (This is caused by Bink video.) To fix, disable Accelerated Interprocess Communication.
- Mouse control does not work. No known fix, but game is playable via keyboard.
- Game crashes after a minute or so in the second level. May be related to weather effects. No known fix.
