Issues fixed

Vsync (Enabled by default) not working on Windows 10

The game has Vsync enabled by default but in Windows 10, it does not work because the game uses DirectX 8 and DirectX 8's Vsync in Windows 10 is broken.

Instructions
Download dgvoodoo2. Copy D3D8.dll from MS\x86\ to <path-to-game>/System/.
