Just tested the tutorial and first ship level of this game on Windows 11 with a Ryzen 7 7840H CPU and 780M APU. No real issues except for the game hanging on exit. No compatibility modes, vsync, etc. used. Unlike other reviews, for me it just worked.7 found this helpful

Awful. Just bloody terrible. Couldn't even make it past the second training course because the game doesn't give you enough ammo, the sniper rifle is inaccurate AF and the first person view is bugged.

Unless you have a heap of nostalgia for this game and are willing to look up how to make it run properly through fan patches and whatnot, stay clear. I love janky old shooters, but this one is better left forgotten.
