Does anyone else have technical issues with this game? Just curious. What I've encountered so far with my GOG copy of the game:
a) Poor performance and consistent crashes when I've cleared a stage and lots of loot is on the ground. Workaround: turning the graphics settings all the way down.
b) Sometimes critical mission clues not spawning. I had to replay a mission 5 times because after hours upon hours of scanning every nook and cranny, the clues where nowhere to be found. The 5th time they immediately appeared when I entered a room.
c) Worst of all -- random game overs. I played Berger's Factory mission (the first half) 3 times. The obejective was to not kill any citizens. No citizens were killed by me or the enemy. No one was even injured in the slightest. Didn't use explosives, didn't shoot recklessly. I was constantly checking everyone's health. No other objectives to fail.
What I ended up doing was buying a Steam copy. That solved all 3 issues. This is the first time for me that an old game works better on Steam than on GOG. The only drawbacks I've seen so far is no VSYNC (which I can enable through my GPU's control panel anyway) and the shadows are missing.
