The 4 CD version has some problems with WinXP and newer soundcards, it was written about 5 years ago, for Windows 95. It was targeted at a Pentium 75 with a 4x CD-ROM, something that hardly anyone has these days. ; t6 u+ b$ e0 m0 }0 p7 \/ V

The sound library has been replaced with audiere, a newer library that works better with new sound cards, and the game has been compiled to work with newer versions of Windows.

The original 2CD version has a problem with that new sound library (some sounds play as static), which is fixed by a patch you can find on this webpage.

It's pretty expnsive to be selling 4CDs in the shop, a 2CD version was necessary to be able to continue selling the game. It's only available in english at the moment, any other languages are sold as 4 CDs.
