Saves need some tinkering
Some random beeps during gameplay
Game checks on start whether there is a save in the game folder (under steamapps/common/Populous 3/save/), however the saves are in the prefix (under steamapps/compatdata/2616430/pfx/drive_c/POP3.CD/SAVE/), which is not the case before some tweaks. The fix: After first game session, simply copy the save games from the prefix to the game folder and then saving and loading always works after that, as it saves on the file in the game folder and loads from there too
The resolution needs to be reset every time the game launches if you want something other than the default during missions
Game works but settings and saves do not persist across launches
Saved games are lost on restart
Game works fine. Saved games are only available in the session and not available to load next time you start the game, meaning you start from the beginning each time with all settings reverted.
It's needed to emulate a virtual desktop
Steam Overlay has to be deactivated, otherwise the game crash
Game works out of the box. Nothing to change but the in-game resolution. It supports 1200x800.
Worked out-of-the-box just like it originally did, and supported my graphics pad for input! What an unexpected surprise!
Works great right out of the box!
Started up, played some missions, and it runs great! Would still recommend some community patches for resolution, old sound issues, etc.
