High DPI mice (anything over 800 DPI) cause Project IGI to spin out of control. To fix this:
Go to and ensure the "Render Device" shows dgVoodoo DirectX Wrapper . project igi 60 fps

For players who don't want to download third-party tools, Windows has built-in legacy support. This rarely achieves a stable 60 FPS, but it can improve performance from "unplayable" to "tolerable." Thus, native 60 FPS was impossible without engine
can have "terrible performance" because it was built on a modified flight simulator engine (the Innerloop engine) designed for massive open terrain, not modern GPU architectures. Without a wrapper like dgVoodoo, modern PCs often fail to allocate enough video memory or correctly sync vertex buffers, leading to severe choppiness.
Thus, native 60 FPS was impossible without engine modification.
