Essential improvements

Modifications

Unreal Engine Direct3D 9 Renderer

The Unreal Engine Direct3D 9 renderer is a simple DirectX 9 renderer for Unreal Tournament, Deus Ex, and Rune that allow these games to have better compatibility on modern operating system. It also has some extra graphical enhancement options such as anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, fullscreen gamma correction, and V-sync.

Unreal Engine Direct3D 10 Renderer

The Unreal Engine Direct3D 10 Renderer is a renderer for Unreal, Unreal Tournament, Deus Ex and Rune that aims to provide a good, consistent looking and future-proof renderer for these games. The focus is not on fancy effects; the idea is to have something that will allow these games to perform well and look good on modern systems.

Issues fixed

Low frame-rate on Windows 8 and later
