Please apply one or more of these fixes to ensure steady gameplay
  1. Download arx-libertatis.org if you want the better build of the game. The RuleForge config will work on both versions.
  2. If you use Special K for Borderless, please use another proxy DLL than d3d9.dll, such as winmm.dll.
  3. See PCGamingWiki for in-depth documentation about these issues.
