Bugs in original game

There are some known bugs in the original game:

Engine

• The original game only supports up to 64 display modes, anything after that is ignored; that is not enough for modern systems (patched in GOG.com 1.0 hotfix2).
• Level of detail for models reduces too quickly for high resolutions.
• The engine exhaust fire is not visible for AI pods.
• The magbeam of the AI is black.
• The magbeam of the AI is not animated.
• AI pods are not animated / the flaps don't move.
• When snow particles move, there is a motion-blur effect by connecting those 2 points with polygons. However, this also happens when the camera does a jumpcut, so there's lots of garbage lines for 1 frame
• The game files are stored with up to 8 bits per channel. However, all textures seem to be converted to A4R4G4B4 or A1R5G5B5 during loading (which reduces the visual quality)
• Right clicking a main menu item will leave that menu, when re-entering the menu, the menus hover effect is missing until it's clicked again
• Hitting enter on selected menu item always goes forward, even if "Cancel" is selected
• When one engine exploded, the other one is shown inside out (bad culling)
• Sometimes re-spawns you directly infront of an obstacle you can't pass because you can't even accelerate enough
• "Lens flares" and "Smoke and dust" will silently be disabled if they are not supported on the system, no warning/error is emitted
• Best times are not saved on fast PCs
• Various issues at high framerates
• Texture filter which (probably) should only invert color (and preserve alpha) always sets alpha to 0xF (100%)

Game logic

• If your pod got damaged on the last race you can’t repair your parts for the rest of the game.
