The problem is that the game is quite old and based on DirectX 7 which isn't properly supported anymore and therefore very slow.

Trying compatbility modes that Windows provides for running executables may improve the performance a bit in some cases.

See above things you could try, as well as installing DirectPlay (Turn Windows Features on or off > Legacy Components).

If all else fails, I heard you could use dgVoodoo2, but it can result in graphical glitches.

I've tried to covert it to use Xors3D DirectX 9, well it starts, simple maps loads, models anim etc. but without collision, sound and terrain, runing still at 50FPS capped but its super smooth compared to original with 40-ish fps and choppy. I ditched it a long time ago since not everything works great or does not at all on Xors. Tried on Blitz Sharp 3D but yeah, rewriting is so slow and ditched it also. Is there any way to remove FPS cap on this game to make it run at least 60fps?
