ZolikaPatch
- Removes forced V-sync and the 100 FPS cap.
- Fixes the zoomed in FOV, stretched HUD elements in widescreen resolutions and widescreen scaling.
- Option to skip intro videos and the 5 second wait on copyright screen.
- Option for borderless windowed mode.
- Doesn't work in Zoom Platform release.
- Uncapping the framerate can cause minor issues with car engine sounds, very high framerate makes car deform more easily.
