: s0 R, p& A( M5 p% ]7 {9 F9 k! ]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.

The 2 CD version compresses sound much more (this is mostly how we managed to get it down to 2 CDs), which requires more computing power to play it. 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.

And as a personal note, if youre danish/swedish/possible other countries that got the original 4 CD release made by the same manifacturer, the game are now actually playable too, no crashing every 2nd time it try to load a movie due to BAD quality CDs. p# \- Q/ ]% O' c8 J
Know 4 people apart from me who bought it, all of us had to take copies of our original game and play from the copies to be able to play it :)
