Essential improvements[edit]

Modifications[edit]

Unreal Engine Direct3D 10 Renderer[edit]

Information 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.
Disadvantage Direct3D 10 Renderer don't work with Rune Classic (GOG.com and Steam versions).
