Issues fixed

Enable Alt+F4

Instructions
Download SuperF4, install and open it. Press Template:Keys keys simultaneously to exit the game while in-game.

Restore filtered screen resolutions

Use d3d8to9
Download d3d8to9 and extract to `<path-to-game>`.

Fog effects fix

On some cards supporting vertex shaders fog artefacts may appear on the horizon or in the sky. To avoid this you can disable vertex shaders at the loss of some special effects (water and dynamic lighting).

To disable vertex shaders add the line `D3D8_ENABLEVERTEXSHADERS=0` to the file `environment.cfg` found in the root of the install directory.

Water effects fix

On Radeon 8500 and Matrox Parhelia the water surfaces don’t render correctly (using the current drivers at the time of writing). This is a driver issue. Until new drivers have been released that solves this problem you can disable pixel shaders to minimize the problem.

To disable pixel shaders add the line `D3D8_ENABLEPIXELSHADERS=0` to the file `environment.cfg` found in the root of the install directory.
